Lost River/Old River - Found River/Young River

The sky has been cleaned
There's no clouds on the river
And the herons on the bank in the reeds all fish with a fever
The colors are caught
Between caution and impulse
But I stand still in the woods
And I watch the water pass by

I'm young and I'm warm
And I jump in the river
I can spend days by myself all alone
Just laying on rocks
The smells and the sounds
Will be with me forever
And I'll climb every tree that I find just to say that I did

Trees are falling over
I hear them come crashing down
It sounds like trains converging on us and it's all around
The trees all come apart
And the earth moves and falls away
There will be a river that's wide and new today
It's waters will remember the trees that it took away

(For a long, long time)

There were no clouds
Or it was all clouds
I couldn't tell
Aside from the owl you killed
We had a good time
I found something new

Somewhere near New Orleans
We came to a bridge
With a single green sign
It told us to close our eyes
It gets a bit brighter before it is through
