Yeah, I Got Away, But I Never Got Clear
The River Has Many Voices
I let you slip down through my skin
You ran through my blood like dawn runs through the wind
I marked your words your rhythm of speech
I lived by this pattern and moved by the beat
I kept your secrets you gave them only to me
Though after a while it seemed they were all I could keep
I still have you here
Yeah, I got away, but I never got clear
Your heart had on it my fingerprints
I held on to it until it could hold itself again
When your voice gave out you wrote it down
I held the pages in my ribs and carried them around
Even now though it’s been so long
I keep your shadow written book of psalms
I still have you here
Yeah, I got away, but I never got clear
I carried your name across desert plains
Over mountains and back again
I’m sitting here now it’s way past midnight
After a year away and out of sight
I kept you close you gave yourself to me
Though after a while it seemed that was too much to keep
I still have you here
Yeah, I got away, but I never got clear
