The Same River Twice feat. Aaron Burdett

Same River Twice

V1
The smell of spruce brings back the cold September in the woods near Jackson Hole
The boat’s still in the water ‘cause we could not bear to let the summer go
You told them at the grocery not to save the Sunday papers anymore
You were off to San Francisco, I’d be working for a year in Ecuador

Ch.1
And now I know, you can’t wade in the same river twice
Now I know, the current flows around you then it’s gone
Leaves you no choice but moving on
That river’s gone

V2
The windows needed painting and some planks along the dock were rotting through
Next year I went back early, I worked hard to leave it looking fine for you
I expected you on Monday, I planted you some roses and red mums,
And it was late on Friday when I finally knew that you would never come

Ch2.
And now I know, you can’t wade in the same river twice
Now I know, the current flows around you then it’s gone
Leaves you no choice but moving on
That river’s gone

Br.
If I had said that Ecuador would have to wait another year or two
If you’d said San Francisco could get through the winter somehow without you

Ch3.
But now I know, you can’t wade in the same river twice
Now I know, the current flows around you then it’s gone
Leaves you no choice but moving on
That river’s gone
