I don't want to wear you out
Are the words I use too bright in colour?
I don't want to scare you off
Am I trying just the right amount here?
Go when you decide to go
Wouldn't want to keep you so
Don't you forget it all anon
How you'd be longing for me
And how carefully
I opened you up
And turned the end of the river
Into a sea that was all yours
I took the dam off the river
And made you free
I did it with the softest touch
Left the angular caress to you baby
And little by little you gave
Till the world shone in your iris azure
Row with all your will to row
Wouldn't want to hold you so
Long that you forget you're being held
We get accustomed to praise,
Perfume and slaves
And what have I done?
Just turned the end of the river
Into a sea that was all yours
I took the dam off the river and made you free
Flow where you decide to flow
Nothing ever changes so
Don't you forget
We're falling rain
We're falling rain
We're falling rain
And some of us will end up
On the streets again
The Besnard Lakes return with their first new LP in four years, full of the same mystery and wonder on which they have built their name. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 30, 2020
The Besnard Lakes are back with a new 12", and a new single. Expansive and psychedelic, much like the band's previous work. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 29, 2016
