about
This song is the debut single for Eugene folk duo, Like Sheep.
lyrics
The memory's old now
The feelings forgotten
Only shivers are cold now
The feelings forgotten
Awake on the deschutes
The river brought the words
And they were good
"I've been here the whole time"
Looking at my shoes
Hoping you'll forgive
The things I do
You've been here the whole time
You are constantly beckoning
Bid me come take me home
The memory's old now
Been hung up and bordered
Like a babe I've been weeping
My triumphant expression
Awake on the deschutes
The river brought the words
And they were good
"I've been here the whole time"
Looking at my shoes
Hoping you'll forgive the things I do
You've been here the whole time
You are constantly beckoning
Bid me come take me home
My father washed me in the river made me clean
Said I'll never have to worry about the dirt of earth again
Let me flow gently down that river let me flow
Somewhere in living water
I'll see my fathers face again
