Heron

If you had the chance

would you be forgotten?

I came here to drink on my own

I don't see the problem.

On the lowlands I made my home

but the river keeps on rising.

And I'll be all I've found 'til it's

defeated the horizon

If I had it my way

I would have just one more day

If I had it my way

I'd have one more day

Do you taste

metal in the water?

Do you waste

the hours in between

the rise and fall of the moon?

I was not listening.

I'm full of hopes,

redundant in my dreams

Where the old dog

goes to die

I'll be living

my best life
