[Verse 1] All the rivers run Past rusted docks Past kids skipping stones Past broken locks They carry our names Written small on the sand Wash out our questions Right out of our hands [Chorus] All the rivers run into the sea Yet the sea is not full Still it’s calling me To the place where the water first began Where it rises from the dark Just to fall again We return Return again [Verse 2] Every promise made Finds a floodplain Every quiet hope Tastes a little rain We drink from a well We don’t understand Chasing the source With a shaking hand [Chorus] All the rivers run into the sea Yet the sea is not full Still it’s calling me To the place where the water first began Where it rises from the dark Just to fall again We return Return again [Bridge] Is this all there is The rush and the rest The leaving The coming An unnamed test I stand on the bank Hear the old refrain What goes out from here Finds its way again [Chorus] All the rivers run into the sea Yet the sea is not full Still it’s calling me To the place where the water first began Where it rises from the dark Just to fall again We return Return again
