By this river



I don't know but lately, for the past three days, I can't seem to get Brian Eno's By This River out of my head. I hated it the first time I heard it (down, down, down, ever falling down...) but now it just seems appropriate for my general mood.



By This River



Here we are stuck by this river

You and I underneath a sky

That's ever falling down down down

Ever falling down





Through the day as if on an ocean

Waiting here always failing to remember

Why we came came came

I wonder why we came





You talk to me as if from a distance

And I reply with impressions chosen

From another time time time

From another time.
