Red River, Draft #7 {AB020-7-9}: November 30th, 1997

[from his laptop]

 

 

I lost my eyes away to you,
What comes round when I fade to blue, tell me...

I need my eyes, not to see with – now – just for a little peace of mind.
The river flows, where it's going – now – no one but I can know.

And when you're gone, I feel I'm near you,
And all those times, I couldn't, couldn't break my fear of you.

I need my heart, not to love with now, just so I know I'll make a start.
The river flows, where it's going – now – no one but I can go...
