Lost River/Old River - Grins

We found a tomb and talked mostly about bones and what they meant to us
And then the ghosts joined in and told us what they meant to them
They talked real low and soft, so you and I got real still
So we could hear them above our breath
Those old souls, they told us they left their bones behind for us
So that we would know that they had been here at all

A mournful tune found me grinning, baring all my teeth
And I knew where I had heard it
In the graveyard with you

We pushed off from shore at midnight in boats we had built ourselves with the hoods of old cars
We used the bottles we had emptied night after night to help keep us afloat
"Come to me," you called out
But the rope that we held was long
And the rocks that it found were sharp
Eventually I might make my way to find out where you went
But for now I'm doing fine

A mournful tune found me grinning, baring all my teeth
And I knew where I had heard it
On a river in the woods
But that's all through, I have found a place now
Where the water's not that loud
A mournful tune helped me close a door
That I'd been meaning to for years
