Umpqua Rushing - Blind Pilot

Panic in the first beat of the morning

Even what I’ve got isn’t worth offering

If I can’t cross the sheets and hold your beat

Talking in the street with who is listening

Nothing that I say is worth remembering

Even faces change- my heart stays the same

Engine in the sky won’t let the moment go

Following behind always a second slow

If I’m far away, am I hearing straight- I’m no voice you want to know?

You’ve been a forest burning no direction

Caught me sleeping smoke in my protection

Your blackened branches drifting through my water-

Are you wrapped up in his arms?

I’m rushing faster and faster

Panic in the taste of all that could have been

Even what I thought wasn’t worth giving

At least my mind has changed

I’ve been a forest burning no direction

I tried to hold you, I tried everything but running

My heart is panicking- are you kissing him?

Are you reaching through all your days with him?

Your blackened branches drifting through my water-

Are you over me?

Are you?

Are?

You are

I will not hold you.

I will not feel your sway

I will not miss you.

I will not think each day

Of summer twilight, your eyes rushing through me deep

I saw my own waters rushing right back to me-

You sitting shotgun, the lost coast calling me

Umpqua Forest, your face just like in my dream…

Are you are you are

Are you are you are

Are you are you are

Are you are you are

Are you are you are

Are you are you are
