Umpqua Rushing

Verse Panic in the first beat of the morning Even what I’ve got isn’t worth offering Even faces change - my heart stays the same Engine in the sky won’t let the moment go Following behind always a second slow If I’m far away, am I hearing straight - I’m no voice you want to know? You’ve been a forest burning no direction Caught me sleeping smoke in my protection Your blackened branches drifting through my water - Are you wrapped up in his arms? I’m rushing faster and faster Verse Panic in the taste of all that could have been Even what I thought wasn’t worth giving At least my mind has changed I’ve been a forest burning no direction I tried to hold you, I tried everything but running My heart is panicking - are you kissing him? Are you reaching through all your days with him? Your blackened branches drifting through my water - Are you over me? Are you? Are? You are I will not hold you. I will not feel your sway I will not miss you. I will not think each day Of summer twilight, your eyes rushing through me deep I saw my own waters rushing right back to me - You sitting shotgun, the lost coast calling me Umpqua Forest, your face just like in my dream
