Vava Quail - A River I Know

There's a river I know
And a walnut tree, unrooted
And the faces I see
Are they aliens like me

There's a river, a forest, a street I know
There's a scene from 1994
There's a movie playing on repeat
About the universe, about defeat

Up in the room
Venetian blinds
And from the garden
The smell of fire
I'm lost in space
And feel so cold
I'd like to dance
I'm eight years old
And wanna let go

I'm eight years old
And wanna let go
I'm eight years old
And wanna let go

I'm eight years old
And wanna let go
I'm eight years old
And wanna let go

Why does everything look so small
As I get out of the car I feel too tall
Why does everything look so small
As I get out of the car I feel too tall
Why does everything look so small

I'm holding on to
Things I've always
Thought I'd let go
I thought I'd let go

There's a river I know
And a walnut tree, unrooted
And the faces I see
Are they aliens like me

There's a river I know
And a walnut tree
There's a river I know
And a walnut tree

There's a river I know
And a walnut tree
There's a river I know
And a walnut tree

And down the river
By the end of the road
I hear a voice
Shouting out I will never go anywhere
But looking up there's a ship
How bizarre
The captain says we're going everywhere

In the trees all the birds
For the winter they will leave
Wings fly, beaks cry
We're going everywhere
And in the attic, on the shelf
Random stories of old times
All the books, all the postcards from everywhere

There's a river I know
And a walnut tree, unrooted

There's a river I know
And a walnut tree, unrooted

I'm holding on to

I thought I'd let go

And a walnut tree, unrooted

Why does everything look so small
As I get out of the car I feel too tall
Why does everything look so small
As I get out of the car I feel too tall
Why does everything look so small

I'm holding on to
Things I've always
Thought I'd let go
I thought I'd let go

There's a river I know
And a walnut tree, unrooted
And the faces I see
Are they aliens like me
