Tributary Songtext
von Mythmaking

I respect our love
It has changed my life
And I know that love
Does not come freely


I am bound to you
I have utmost responsibility
Just like the stream you are hearing
Beneath my voice—
No matter how tiny
Its winding body may be
It must meet its river
It must empty into its lake
Because it is the river
Because it is the lake

I know the ocean waits up ahead
Its mouth is wide open
Its teeth are bared
And to confluence with it
Has always been
The death of deaths

So let us swim together
Into those trembling black waters—
I want to spend my life with you
