Peace Like Rivers Lyrics

You lay it out on the grass and

Tell me I'm gonna need new flowers soon

You let me up in the attics

Say how the sink will have the best view

But I do

You lift the veil on the woodpile

Tell me how it burns without asking first

You lick the blood off of your hand

Say how I won't have to worry I'm cursed

But I do

Peace like rivers in a dream

I like that to mean

We're right where we should be

That our prayers are received

Peace like rivers in a dream

I like that to mean

Someone else came between us and

when I'm down I can stay down

I turn our talk back to work now

Say there are certain games I won't play

You on your hands and knee cooing

Can't pick a card any card so won't you

I do
