One Man's River

one man's river
this king's river
my ebb and flow
I must give her

the things I owe
the things that show
between these tides
part and go

I am yours
he is yours
take my river
all it's shores

clean these stains
from hurricanes
shattered glass
from window panes

without you
I can't doubt you
where I came from
where we grew

there are things that flow
like your eyes flow
that endless blue
that only I know

here is my river
take my river
keep it safe
under moonlit sliver
