For Betty Songtext
I worked on the river
from 9 until 9
you would wait by the shoreline
and pray for my life.

I said, "someday we'll escape
from this sad little town
and run free like young children
who would never be found."
Ahhh...ahhhh
Run through the rain
I can't see you anywhere
Howl at the fading sun
What is real? Where is hope/home?

When you moved to the north of
the home where we kept
old boxes and sadness
our bones and our breath.
I said, "maybe we're happy,
in this said little town,
where our lips part for anger,
and our hearts make no sound."

Ahhh... ahh
And we're caught in the sky
Will we drown in the rain and the fire?
Will you meet me tonight?
Singing, "God let's save him, God is here now God let's get out."
When I'm finally dying
and I'm nervous when I stay
And I'm caught in the dawn.
Haven't I seen you?
Forgotten and buried

I stayed in the river
and you walked from the shore
to the edge of the city
through the vast unexplored
I screamed, "Don't leave me stranded,
in this sad little town!"
But, my voice was a whisper
that would never be found.
Never be found.
