River Flows Two Ways

We watched the desert flood with rain

And turn into a mirror

Watched the clouds float across its plain

And the sky felt nearer

Saw the sun turn black another day

Middle of the afternoon

Heard the birds sing their morning song

Rightfully confused

Time pulling me backwards

Time carrying me forwards

Thank god that river flows two ways

(Ooh, ooh)

Growing ocean, draining lake, opening ground (ooh)

Make me grateful for every breath I take

When you're still around

Time pulling me backwards

Time carrying me forwards

Thank god that river flows two ways

Thank god that river flows two ways

Thank god that river flows two ways

Thank god that river flows two ways
