words and music by Laura Theis
to live by a river or a lake of silver
to own a boat and to float
through pearl-strings of afternoons
with a lover or a friend
anyone who’d lend a hand
anyone who’d hold your hand
and chose to spend time with you
out of the infinity of things that they could do
imagine loving someone
through any weather for worse or for better
imagine forgetting the fact
that there was once a thing called internet
imagine living surrounded by beauty
how it would elevate you
slowly intoxicate you
turn you into an addict
unfit for any city
any other kind of living
to live by a river or a lake of silver
to own a boat and to float
through pearl-strings of afternoons
