This just kinda came from me screwing around with guitar effects in Logic. This was some kind of triplet echo thing. It's almost one of the challenges, the one note melody, but I just have a one note drone going in the background. I guess the lyrics are a take on the traditional folk drown someone in a river theme.
river gonna make it to the drowning sea
gonna make the river to the drowning sea
river gonna run like you run away from me
river gonna drain into the drowning sea
I once saw a woman who looked like you
once I saw another woman look a lot like you
everything was different but her eyes were baby blue
I never saw a woman look exactly like you
followed her down to the river one day
to the river followed her on a january day
turned around to go, she asked me to stay
killed some time with her along the river one day
wind was in the trees, bird was on the wing
holy wind was blowing bird was taking to the wing
never understood why the bird didn't sing
bird was in the tree with a feather on a wing
ran into again her on a crowded stair
again I ran into her body on a crowded stair
couldn't understand the reason she was doing there
as I watched her walk away down a crowded stair

Very creative lyrics. The music fits this perfectly. Very compelling and interesting song. I really like the bird verse. Good one!
