D Hey now little Dm speedy head,
D6 the read on the speedDsus4ometer says
We D have to go to Dm tank in the D6 city
Where D people drown and Dm people serve,
D6 don't be shy you Dsus4 just deserve
It's D only just Dm light years to D6 go

Chorus:
G Me my thoughts are A flower-strewn
D Ocean storm, bayEmberry moon
G I have got to A leave to find my D way D-Dsus4-D
G Watch the road and A memorize
This D life that passed beEmfore my eyes
G Nothing is A going my D way

Dm D6 Dsus4

The ocean is the river's goal, a need to leave the water knows
We're closer now than light years to go
As Chorus:
I have got to find the river, bergamot and vetiver
Run through my head and fall away
Leave the road and memorize this life that passed before my eyes
Nothing is going my way

There's no one left to take the lead, but I tell you and you can see
We're closer now than light years to go
Pick up here and chase the ride, the river empties to the tide
Fall into the ocean

As Chorus:
The river to the ocean goes, a fortune for the undertow
None of this is going my way
There is nothing left to throw of ginger, lemon, indigo
Coriander, stem and rose of hay
Strength and courage override the privileged and weary eyes
Of river poet search naivety
Pick up here and chase the ride, the river empties to the tide
All of this is coming your way
