Work It In

mouth
of the river
tween the lips of the fraser
roots deeply unintwined
life
affected
with misbelieving
emotion eludes me once again

going down like the dollar
going down everyday
try to figure us out try to figure us all

heart
weakening
no love there to lose
emotionally obscure
head
pounding
the search for answers continues
sleep evasion search for feeling

going down like the dollar
going down everyday
try to figure us out try to figure us all

miss
directed
slowly turning
lost directions with rocked wheels
mind
tiring
the search for answers continues
sleep evasion search for feeling

going down like the dollar
going down everyday
try to figure us out try to figure us all

going down like the dollar
going down without end
if you figure it out ----
try to give me a call

I wanted to write a song about where I came from, where I live. Richmond is an island city, entirely surrounded by the great Fraser River which separates us from Vancouver to the North, and Surrey and Delta to the South. This is my tribute to the mighty Fraser.
