Drops In The River Lyrics - Sun Giant Ep - Fleet Foxes

Crown of leaves, high in the window on a cold morning 

Young today, old as a railroad tomorrow 

Days are just drops in the river to be lost always 

Only you, only you, you know 

Years ago, birds of a feather would arrive nightly 

Gone you know, held to another like clutched ivy 

On the shore, speak to the ocean and receive silence 

Only you, only you, you know 

You hesitate so my memory fades, I'll hold to the first one 

I wouldn't turn to another you say, on the long night we've made 

Let it go 

Only you, only you, you know 

Only you, only you, you know 

You hesitate so my memory fades, I'll hold to the first one 

I wouldn't turn to another you say, on the long night we've made 

Let it go 

Speak to me slow my dear 

No ghost of course in here 

Pleased to be lonesome quiet and clear 

All is alone in here
