row him home - the wailin' jennys lyrics
(nicky mehta)
across that river through the orange squares of light
past the streetlamp like a beacon in the rain
you’ve stopped in all this motion
you’re heavy with news too sudden
you’re breathing through this undertow of pain
and all your friends will gather soon
and you’ll surface then to bring them through
you’ll say “it’s better this way” and “at least we knew”
but this practice in leaving
all these small moves to grieving
does it ever really promise what’s deserved?
you want to take him in your arms
and carry to the river
find the boy he once was and row him home
you want a majesty restored
find the place where love was born and let him go
many sundays p-ssed since the day of his first leaving
you stopped asking for the rule to be reversed
and with the grace that follows those who know what love is
you held his hand and walked towards this strange rebirth
and as the friends gather round to bear witness
you struggle with the fight to find some peace, to make it worth it
you want to take him in your arms
and carry to the river
find the boy he once was and row him home
you want a majesty restored
find the place where love was born and let him go
