lyrics

Where the River don’t Freeze

Goin’ down to where the river don’t freeze, Ma Mama child upon your knee
Heard stories ‘bout a place down there , Dreams blossom, in the morning air
We talked through the night , We grew with the dawn
We dreamed of a bold horizon where shadows break from lies that bind them

Goin’ down to where the river don’t freeze, Goin’ down to the gathering
Entranced by that gleeful call, promises a cure for all
We told of the fright , We hid from the wrong
We touched in the bold horizon where shadows break from shapes that bind them

Oh the water how I feared when it was rising, now that fear is my disgrace
Its only water yet I felt it worth despising, when all I felt was out of place
I feel the current flowing, I have no strength for rowing,
Adrift, the river pulls me, down to the sea

Goin’ down to where the river don’t freeze, Ma mama how we tried to please
Old glories, a familiar face, truth lies in that lonely place
We held with our might , We fought with our brawn
We dreamed of a bold horizon where shadows break from lies that bind them

Goin’ down to where the river don’t freeze, goin’ down to the gathering
Hear tales of all woe and ruin, hard times just the luck of fools,
We basked in the light, we moved with the strong
We touched in a bold horizon where shadows break from shapes that bind them

Oh the water how I feared when it was rising, now that fear is my disgrace
Its only water but I felt it worth despising, when all I felt was out of place
I feel the current flowing, I have no strength for rowing,
Adrift, the river pulls me, down to the sea

Goin’ down to where the river don’t freeze, Ma mama when you think of me
Tell stories with a toothy grin, all smiles at the shapes I’ve been
We learned of the right, we knew all along,
We dreamed of a bold horizon where shadows break from lies that bind them

Goin’ down to where the river don’t freeze, goin’ down to the gathering
Voices raised in joyful song, lost hearts that can not belong
We walked through the night, we flew with the dawn
We touched in a bold horizon where shadows break from shapes that bind them

about

the balconvillains Montreal, Québec

Pan-genre…Omni-groove…
Not young…Not pretty…

Craft honed across two millennia, not the undead, the experienced.

The progeny of Montreal and the Age of Aquarius, chameleon transients in time and space, consumed and were consumed, frivolous, rhythmic, the voice of the common in the complexity of the mundane. ... more
