[Verse 1] Baby, I am all yours Where the marshland holds the rain Reeds bend low beside the water And the mud remembers every name You and I beneath the bruckner boulevard Counting headlights through the trees There’s a river hidden underground Running where nobody sees [Pre-Chorus] If you lose me, follow slowly Past the cattails, past the stones Every buried stream is turning Every current brings you home [Chorus] Because we see each other That is how we know who we are Hey, amigo, stay beside me You’re the compass, I’m the far shore Baby, I am all yours Even where the water disappears A river hidden underground Still carries us from here [Verse 2] Your green jacket on the fence post Wet sleeves shining in the dawn We made promises by the drainage ditch Then watched the little frogs move on No one heard the roots below us No one saw the current start But the earth kept making room For your hand inside my heart [Bridge] Amigo, if the whole world asks us What we’re doing in this place Say we’re listening for the water Say we’re learning one another’s face [Chorus] Because we see each other That is how we know who we are Hey, amigo, stay beside me You’re the compass, I’m the far shore Baby, I am all yours Even where the water disappears A river hidden underground Still carries us from here [Outro] Baby, I am all yours Where the marsh meets the road You and I, two quiet witnesses To the current under stone
