Thinner Lyrics

Your words they flow like water

I grow but you're still taller

And I'll wait in this river

Like summers words I'm thinner

Ran by sluice of current

Boats borne back eyes so fervent

But I'll wait in this river

This water's cold with winter

My bare feet on the concrete

Your tears they fall on pine street

And I'll wait in this creek bed

Your summer words in my head

Rivers mouth it babbles

My response is your fable

I'll go with the current but

Tell me darling do I look thinner

But oh did you falter in your words

Oh did you cry out for all the world

Was it that folly in your step

Or was it your sorrow and its depth

My bare feet on the concrete

Your tears they fall on pine street

And I'll wait in this creek bed

Your summer words in my head
