Little Creek

from Garden Ruin by Garden Ruin

lyrics

Little creek, your crumbling banks
Into your water, my heart sank
Hold these trees at your side,
with their roots laying bare
Hold this man at your side
with his soul cast in the air
Soul cast in the air

When the rain comes, take these bones
Carry them past my school, past my home
Hold these cracks and fissures in time
Tell the water where it belongs
Hold this body in a straight line
Keeping your current strong
Keeping your current strong

I'm overcome, I'm overwhelmed
I'm overcome, I'm overwhelmed
I'm overcome, I'm overwhelmed

Little creek, make your way to the sea
Let that gaping mouth, swallow me
Hold these trees at your side,
with their roots laying bare
Hold this man at your side
with his nerves cast in the air
Nerves cast in the air

I'm overcome, I'm overwhelmed
I'm overcome, I'm overwhelmed
I'm overcome, I'm overwhelmed
