Somewhere in the flow


My father kept their wedding cake in the freezer
After the funeral he gave it to the gardener
But there was never a perfect person around
Just half a devil and half and angel in you
But we flow together, like water
Until I can't tell you from me

Let your brother down, let your sister go
Take the long way round, ever in the flow

She is like a tree, she shelters me
So I lie here, in this shade
Help each other, love everyone
Every ray of light you count and forgive
I had no faith but you knew all along
Were you afraid? Really afraid?

Let your brother down, let your sister go
Take the long way round, ever in the flow

We all lose something along the way
Gloves and scarves and memories
Things turned over and down
Drawers with forgotten contents
Journeys we no longer need to make
Hats and coats and memories
We all lose something along the way

Let your brother down, let your sister go
Take the long way round, ever in the flow

Somewhere in the flow.
