Peace Like Rivers Songtext
von Gregory and the Hawk

You lay it out on the grass and
Tell me I′m gonna need more flowers soon
You let me up in the attic
Say how the sink will have the best view
But I do
But I do

You lift the veil on the wood pile
Tell me how it burns without asking first
You lick the blood off of your hand
Say how I won't have to worry, I′m cursed
But I do
But I do

Peace like rivers in a dream
I like that to mean
We're right where we should be
That our prayers are received


Peace like rivers in a dream
I like that to mean
Someone else can complete them
And when I'm down, I can stay down

So I turn our talk back to work now
Tell you there are certain games I won′t play
You on your hands and knees, cooing
Can′t pick a card, any card
So won't you
I do
I do

Peace like rivers in a dream
I like that to mean
We are right where we should be
That our prayers are received

Peace like rivers in a dream
I like that to mean
Someone else came between us
And when I′m bound, I can stay bound

And peace like rivers in a dream
I like that to mean
We are right where we should be
And our prayers are received


Peace like rivers in a dream
I like that to mean
Someone else can complete them
Someone else can complete them
Someone else can complete them
