Three Acre Plot - River Lyrics

I looked back home, saw a flash of green and blue
Between the two saw a hazy silver shimmering
And it lit up in the dawn
And it followed us in dreams
And it whispered in our ears
It told us
Oh the river is, the river is a lie
We've seen the river and it's nothing but a lie
Oh the river is, the river is a lie
Yes it's nothing but a mirror of the sky

We wandered far, past the fields and mountains blue
To distant lands where the people spoke of faith and truth
And their leaders took us in
And they taught us to believe
And we cited our new creed
We told them
Oh the river is, the river is a lie
We've seen the river and it's nothing but a lie
Oh the river is, the river is a lie
Yes it's nothing but a mirror of the sky

We wandered on, and the world it grew unclear
As cliffs grew sheer, and the stony darkness cursed our names
So we drew back from the night
And we built a space of love
And light rained down from above
It showed us
Oh the river is, the river is no lie
We've seen the river and the river is alive
Oh the river is, the river is no lie
Oh no, it brings us ever closer to the sky
Oh the river is, the river is no lie
We've seen the river and the river is alive
Oh the river is, the river is no lie
Oh no, it brings us even closer to the sky
