Down to the Riverside Now?

6/20/10

What better than a sunny day
To melt away a yesterday?
I'd rather not remember.
I'd rather not remember.

I'd rather not remember
How deep the river ran,
How you woke up with a smile
As my skin began to tan.

I tore my scribbled pages
And smeared the ink across
The wisdom of the sages
Laid to rest in soggy moss.

You said, "We're made for healing,"
As if I was unaware.
Some hearts are made for stealing;
Others break beyond repair.

I'd rather not remember
How deep the river ran.
I'd rather not remember
How in love with you I am.

I'll be the one to take you home
But I'll be driving back alone
I wonder if you know how much it hurts to say goodbye.
How long am I to hold you
Before someone else will scold you?
Guess I'm learning to let go of you tonight.
Yes, I'm learning to let go of you tonight.

I'd rather not remember
How deep the river ran.
I'd rather not remember
How in love with you I am,
How in love with you I am.
