Still Flowing

from Outside (Album) by Pat Orchard

/

lyrics

rainfalls on high ground
forms the fingers of a delicate hand
reaches out towards the sea
rain formed a river
and the river
was me

i was young i was wild
pure and keen like a child
eager to leave to my roots
to find my mouth
to speak my truths

you know

life's just a river
well and i'm still flowing
life's just a river and
there no way of knowing
life's just a river
and all i've found
is every path you take
just takes you down

everyday i grew longer
a little wider a
little stronger
and time took its course
drew me further from my source

i cut a line from the country-side
down to the city where the people reside
they tamed my strength
and they put me to work
they gave me a name
and filled me up with all their dirt

you know

life's just a river
well and i'm still flowing
life's just a river
and there no way of knowing
life's just a river
and all i've found
is every path you take
just takes you down

i've been driven by the past
i've been driven by the rain
driven by the knowledge
that i cant go back again
but i'm still flowing
i'm still flowing

now here i am in my middle age
and i cant control my strength
i cant control my rage
i've got dead fish
floating in my veins
whatever happened
to the pure pure rain

you know

life's just a river
well and i'm still flowing
life's just a river
and there no way of knowing
life's just a river
and all i've found
is every path you take
just take you down

rainfalls on high ground forms
the fingers of a delicate hand
