lyrics

I can see that you’ve been sleeping
Sorry, dear—I’ll get out of your hair—
But when you wake, please come and find me
I’ll be right here—I’m the worm in your ear

Among these boxes, the air is toxic
Sorry, dear—we’ll go where it’s clear—
While you are sleeping, please try to see me
Downstream from your room—I’ll be expecting you soon

The river is fraught with branches and rocks
It flows where we cannot see
Come! Build a raft with me!

I can feel your hesitation
Climb on, my dear—I promise I’ll steer—
But if you could, come try and join me—
The rudders and oars—and helm—are all yours

The river is wide and speckled with white
It crashes and spins and seethes
Come! Ride it blind with me!

I’ve heard it runs down beyond populous towns
To a delta of thick brackish marsh
Come, before the sunlight gets harsh!
