The River of Water

In the time that remains the stars will fade

Doesn't take what's wrong and make it right

It doesn't change what's come before

A lot of people want to turn their heads

And wave a flag and claim a moral fight

When there's nothing right about it

One of the little lies of time

Just because you're after all the men

Doesn't take what's wrong and make it right

It doesn't change what's come before

A lot of people want to clear their head

Or beat a drum and hold your head up high

When there's nothing right about it

One of the little lies of time

A freighter goes to shore

Puts a weighted line

The sun goes down

And all this dirt, it turns to black

A restless sleeper sticks his head outside

And sees the light and feels it come inside

But he doesn't recognize

It's my kind of little lie

And my tastes hold in the middle of the night

My kind of little lie

And I know all the pretenders

It's all right

My kind of little lying time

Lying time

A lying time

A lying time
