The snakeskin bracelet on your wrist
always came undone
it's strange the little things
the mind remembers
when the big things in love have gone

and all emotion seems as a relative thing
but I can't tell who's furter from who
sometimes I think I'm flying into the distance
sometimes I think it's you

and 50 miles downriver
50 miles downriver I'll find the truth

Outside the waitress smokes a cigarette
for a minute she feels free
but the river pays no mind
in difference of time
puts distance between you and me

And I've swam against the tide
and been breathless all my life
now I'm drifting free
it's time I realize that man can't fight the tide
and the moon has more influence than me

and 50 miles downriver
50 miles downriver's where I wanna be

The final conversation is ringing in my ears

like the dying chords of a song
and in the pillar of fire I thought I saw your face
it's just a lightning storm

and the light of these towns they fade down
and they all look the same from here
and I'm digging my nails into the palm of my hand
not gonna show you my tears

'Cause 50 miles downriver
50 miles downriver that rain will clear

And the walls of the harbour fallen behind
that river proved too sure
and 50 miles was never that far
now a thousand don't seem much

So I threw away the map
and now I'm sailing by the stars
but stars can be liars too
so I raise my flag and sit back down
let the wind blow where it will

Cause a thoudand miles of ocean's calling me
yeah thousand miles of ocean's where I'll find peace
I've crossed a thousand miles of ocean
is that a river I see?
