On The Starry Banks Lyrics

Standing in command
A hatchet in my hand
Choppin' up the dining room table
I need the wood to make
A boat that's gonna take me
Away from you while I'm still able

The anger and deceit
We tried so hard to beat
Kept stalking us like an animal
The landscape of our lives
Transformed before our eyes
To it became some kind a jungle
With a river running through
River running through
Between me and you

On the starry banks
On the starry banks
On the starry banks I lost you
On the starry banks
On the starry banks
On the starry banks I lost you
I lost you

A movie hits the screen
Projector stays unseen
The audience erupts into laughter
Meanwhile across my brain
A darkened movie is playing
A commercial and artistic disaster
A falcon sees the hare
From way up in the air
And turns its body into a hammer
Somewhere high above
Something without love
Is bearing down on me in that manner
I lost you
I lost you
I lost you

On the starry banks
On the starry banks
On the starry banks I lost you
On the starry banks
On the starry banks
On the starry banks I lost you
On the starry banks
On the starry banks
On the starry banks I lost you
On the starry banks
On the starry banks
On the starry banks I lost you
I lost you
