Lyrics
Perhaps
I swear I can hear
The snow on the river
Who’s hands are these
All chap and shiver
like the stars are falling
Into a sea of blood
If I could sleep
I would dream of mud
The smell of the wind
on the coming spring
When the birds will open up
their icy beaks and sing
I swear I can hear the snow
on the river tonight
When Johnny and I were boys
We’d often fight
Not that we didn’t share
A love for fishing
I taught him how to bait a hook
And now I’m wishing
I told him I loved him
Before he went away
Perhaps I’ve already shot him
Who can say
