Karla Anderson: Music

Like A River

By the sweetness of your voice
I know you’re leaving me
How you’re measuring your words
I know you’re already gone
And the way that you hold me tight
And you memorize the way I feel
It all goes without explaining
What I have come to know

Hey, love is deep baby
Like a river
Cutting away the rock of disguise
Leaving bare what we might try to cover
From each other’s eyes

By the way you look right past me
When I’m right here
And the way you drown yourself
In your TV and your beer

Ah, for all that we have seen, baby
I don’t love you less
And there’s no one left to blame
No reason to confess

Hey, love is deep, baby
Like a river
Cutting away the rock of disguise
All the truth and the lies
Leaving bare what we might try to cover
From each other’s eyes

By the sweetness of your voice
I know you’re already gone
