House On A River

20 October 2026

It's hard to sit and watch you suffer

I tend to look the other way

It's hard to sit and watch you cover

Up the magnitude of pain

How am I supposed to let my feelings show

When there's a promise that I'll never let you down?

And how am I supposed to let the children know

about the shadow on this side of town?

We're a house on a river, running wild, running free

We're a house that floats forever, sailing south, to the sea, to the sea

I'm falling with you as a friend

I'm falling for you once again

We're floating into trouble, it's cold, it's dark, it's subtle

You won't let it define you

You won't let it outshine you

It'll be the light that guides you

It'll be the making of you

And how do you compose yourself when you're so low

and there's a chance that you might suffer inside?

And how do you compose the words the children know

about the shadow on the other side?

We're a house on a river, running wild, running free

We're a house that floats forever, sailing south, to the sea, to the sea
