A Longing I Could Never Satisfy

I blew the weather vane

And watched it spin around

Can't slow it down now

I can’t slow it down

I've always been good at 

Rushing right in 

With words lit on fire 

Despite where I've been 

The river tears through the earth

So fast and hot and wild

It can't seem to reach that cool ocean 

It so yearns to find 

I wonder when the brakes 

Began to fail me 

And the passion turned to fire 

When what was good 

Became a longing 

I could never satisfy 

The river tears through the earth

So fast and hot and wild

It can't seem to reach that cool ocean 

It so yearns to find 

The moon, it seems to calm me 

And shows me the river deep inside 

That's been painted on my body 

In these delicate blue veins of mine
