from the red CD: flying into inuvik

They say there's peace out on a river
Tranquility that keeps eluding me
They say there's peace out on a river
River gonna set you free

And she said she'd love me just like a river
Like water she slipped right through my hands
Ain't gonna have no more to do with no rivers
Get myself on Solid land.

As a child I was raised by the ocean
Used to build myself castles in the sand
Tide would come and wash them all away
Get myself on Solid Land

And sometimes I wish I was a mountain
Instead of just a man of flesh and bone
Wouldn't have to worry about emotions
Wish I had a heart made of stone

And she said she'd love me just like a river
Like water she slipped right through my hands
Ain't gonna have no more to do with no rivers
Get myself on Solid land.
