Take It As It Rolls

Honey and the Bear

Keep Open Your Eyes (Pay the Riverman)  

V¬ 
Five walk down to the riverside							
With liquid in pockets, in glasses we should have shared
Got one less friendship on this side
If you’re gonna be late man, I don’t want you round me here
We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it
As leaves flutter down your hand is in my hand
How far would you go for a taste of beer?
And head over, heal me, go meet the Riverman

Ch¬
Deeper than your life									
And as you jump right in, make sure that you open your eyes
Keep open your eyes
Keep open your eyes
And don’t forget to pay the Riverman

V¬ 
Four left down by the riverside							
One didn’t come up, with antlers he parted there
Four left hands and a mocking bird
Kingfisher jumps up, high five and a sip of air
Feels like the black thorn in my side
Constantly moving, cold toes in wet sand
How far would you travel to be with me?
And head over, heal me, go meet the Riverman

Ch--





V¬
Three folk drink by the river’s tide
The water is sparkling like white wine in slipstream
Stuck in the mud with the lion man
Red-faced when thinking, the cold fear of aging
The bottles get smashed and so do we
Glasses over the shoulder, then breakfast in frying pan
How far is the ocean, your one two three?
And head over, heal me, go meet the Riverman

Ch--

V¬
Just two and a bear on the riverside
Wide eyed and carefree, not wanting or needing
Take another picture for the trilogy
A mountain or two with stream to keep your cool
A decade has gone and where’d it go
The way was good and sun was raining down
How many rocks to the mountain man?
And head over, heal me, go meet the Riverman
