Lyrics:

(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)







Hey now, little speedyhead,

The read on the speedmeter says

You have to go to task in the city

Where people drown and people serve

Don't be shy. Your just deserve

Is only just light years to go



Me, my thoughts are flower strewn

Ocean storm, bayberry moon

I have got to leave to find my way

Watch the road and memorize

This life that pass before my eyes

Nothing is going my way



The ocean is the river's goal,

A need to leave the water knows

We're closer now than light years to go



I have got to find the river,

Bergamot and vetiver

Run through my head and fall away

Leave the road and memorize

This life that pass before my eyes

Nothing is going my way



There's no one left to take the lead,

But I tell you and you can see

We're closer now than light years to go

Pick up here and chase the ride

The river empties to the tide

Fall into the ocean



The river to the ocean goes,

A fortune for the undertow

None of this is going my way

There is nothing left to throw

Of Ginger, lemon, indigo,

Coriander stem and rose of hay

Strength and courage overrides

The privileged and weary eyes

Of river poet search naivete

Pick up here and chase the ride

The river empties to the tide

All of this is coming your way
