Lyrics
There’s a stillness in the morning
Nothing left to disguise
Words we threw like stones in water
Now just circles fading wide
You said the world keeps turning
But I swear it’s slowing down
Every promise, every handshake
Sinks before it hits the ground
When the river stops moving
Dead fish rise in the light
When the river stops moving
You can smell what’s left behind
All those friends with open smiles
Gone like mist from the shore
You reach out for something real
But the water ain’t there no more
Now I sit by the bank alone
Listening to what don’t speak
Truth is heavy when it’s old
And the air’s too tired to breathe
When the river stops moving
Dead fish drift through my mind
When the river stops moving
You can see what’s been left behind
