[Verse 1]
Staring out the window he hums so low
Old man Rivers where do you go
Footsteps hollow where secrets stream
Running through a nightmare dressed as a dream
[Pre-Chorus]
His hands are cracked like ancient maps
Wrinkles tell stories of time collapse
Shadow dances where the moonlight fades
The echo of a past refuses to evade
[Chorus]
Old man Rivers with a heart of stone
Underneath the surface beats the unknown
Through the noise I hear him call my name
Seasons change but his flow’s the same
[Verse 2]
In a sea of faces lost control
Digging through dirt for your tarnished soul
No compass lines just winding turns
Old man Rivers where the fire still burns
[Bridge]
His laughter breaks across the shore
A melody that haunts forevermore
The rhythm snaps in the depth of night
Old man Rivers vanishes out of sight
[Chorus]
Old man Rivers with a heart of stone
Underneath the surface beats the unknown
Through the noise I hear him call my name
Seasons change but his flow’s the same
