A strong current will sweep you downstream
It would be best not to resist
The line you’re hanging on is fraying
You may as well loosen your grip

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
When a stranger is living in your old house
What does when you were born still say about you?
It’d be best to jettison what you can’t redo

A strong current will sweep you downstream
It would be best not to resist
The line you’re hanging on is fraying
You may as well loosen your grip

[Instrumental Outro]
C F C G Am D F G x4

When does one thing ever end and the next begin?
Every day back then felt like a hyphen

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
I cannot recall where I was at all
But I know what I heard when I wrote those words
Green River still runs under that same sun
I never saw the source but I know the chorus

When does one thing ever end and the next begin?
Every day back then felt like a hyphen
I do not wish to retrace the steps I’ve taken
All that madness now is where I’m going

[Instrumental]
C G D A x2

There will always be a trace of this place in me
Green River still runs under that same sun

It’s a time to be humble, it’s a time to be free
It’s a time to raise our voices loud and not go quietly
As this time marches on into great uncertainty
I have music all around me bringing timeless melody

(Verse 2)

There’s a tide in the water, where the mountains reach the sea
And the lilac grows beyond the scope of forgotten memory
Just as simple and as strange as the sea becomes the tree
There are people shouting clearly “I am you and you are me”

(Chorus)
Oh, these times we share as this time will end
To be sure it will not come again
Just timeless myths, on her you can depend

(Verse 3)

It’s a time to be humble, it’s a time to be free
It’s a time to raise our voices loud and not go quietly
As this time marches on into great uncertainty
I have music all around me bringing timeless melody

(Coda)

Diamond eye will not go quietly
Diamond eye will not go quietly
Diamond eye will, diamond eye will, diamond eye will not go quietly

[Verse 1]
The black and yellow finches
That nest in our new ferns
Which hang upon our front porch
Wait for the warm sun to return

Impatiently, as I wait for you
Impatiently, as I wait for you

[Instrumental] (x4)

[Verse 2]
The night surrenders swiftly
The moon retreats from sight
The darkness that surrounds me
The sun cuts like a knife to shine

Impatiently
Impatiently

The birds singing
The sun rising
Impatiently, as I wait for you
For you,
For you,
For you
F C G (x4)

Around in circles
Far from the ground
Waiting to put this thing down

[Instrumental]
Dmaj7 C#m Dmaj7 C#m Dmaj7 C#m G#m F# x2

[Verse 2]
Where was I Tuesday night?
Where was I this morning
What this is is not real life
At least it isn’t boring
I can’t open my mouth to speak
I can’t open my eyes
Someone press pause, wrap me in gauze
And turn the lights off

Around in circles
Far from the ground
Waiting to put this thing down
