lyrics

Another summer came in May, Took the wondering day by day;
Wasn't any other way, To reason with herself to stay
Not an easy place to sit, Between the valley and the ridge;
All the troubles get back-lit, Trying hard to make it fit

She'll slow down when that water's still, When all the ways down get back-filled;
Maybe the rivers aren't supposed to run, South to north, Back and forth, 'Round here

Pass on through water gap, To the dark side of the map;
Even though an even flow, Line's too thin, the bank too black
Hold her steady for another mile, Let the water rise on higher;
To keep the edge, try to file; The weathered weave of wood and wire

She'll slow down when that water's still, When all the ways down get back-filled;
Maybe the rivers aren't supposed to run, South to north, Back and forth, 'Round here

Another summer went thereby; Overburden to the side; Gave the ol' small town try; she was bound to stay untied

She'll slow down when that water's still; When all the ways down get back-filled;
Maybe the rivers aren't supposed to run; Big and tall; Even at all; 'Round here
