city of ships - the old man كلمات الأغنية

a few years back
they say a teenage girl on a makeshift raft
went off into the water and
she never came back
she was way too loaded to swim
the current was raging and it pulled her in
they never found a body but they searched to no end

the river flows on
ever changing, true to none
its endless miles
apologize to no one
the river flows on
indifferent to everything
watch it breach its banks
and then quietly recede

some say she asked for it
as she went sinking down
they watched her drown

the talking heads are going on about
a record breaking epic drought
but from 35,000 feet i look down
see the tops of the houses submerged
watch a barge move upstream unimpressed like it hadn’t heard
crops are destroyed, famine’s assured

for so long
i’ve been captivated by
her sweet meandering song
at the gathering of waters i sing along

some say what happened
is divine vengeance on that town
but i have my doubts

- city of ships
