I wish I had a river

I would fall into these words
and be washed away
by the meaning they now give
to the boats I've cast away
I wish I had a river
to sail away on

But then I drown in the thoughts
of the dreams that are cast
far too deep for the anchor
of the boats that now pass
I wish I had a river
to sail away on

So I drift between the banks
of these words and what would be
the only boat to bear me now
is the silence that I keep
I wish I had a river
to sail away on
