What the River Remembers

Never goes. It knows. I stood by the river 'fore the sun came Up. Watched the fog rise like a ghost in a Cup. It didn't speak, but it sure did feel Like it knew the things I tried to seal. It's seen the bottles I threw one night, The names I whispered out of spite. It don't judge, it just rolls. But it carries what we can't hold. The river don't forget, It just moves slow. Carries every word We thought let go. It don't need a name, It just somehow knows. Yeah, what the river remembers Never goes. I skipped a stone and watched it dive like Every dream I left alive. The ripples ran, but they came back like old Regrets in faded black. It don't erase, it don't forgive, But it holds the way that water lives. Soft and deep, wide and true, keeps every Trace that passes through. The river don't forget, It just moves slow. Carries every word We thought let go. It don't need a name, It just somehow knows. Yeah, what the river remembers Never goes. Mm, Never goes. It knows.
