2942 When the River Finds Mary (herid 17 The Gamblers)

[Grand Piano solo doom feeling, monumental] [Verse 1] Another plate in the sink Another coat on the chair Coffee ring on the counter Like you paused in the air Your scarf on the hallway nail Faded red Fraying thread I still leave you half the pillow Talk out loud to your side of the bed [Chorus] When the river finds Mary Will it tell her my name? Will it carry these little things Or just wash them away? If the river finds Mary Somewhere past this town Tell her I kept every echo I just can’t put them down [guitar solo with sustained notes and doom feeling, sacred, monumental] [Verse 2] Your boots wait by the back door Mud dried from that last rain I trace each cracked leather line Like a map back through the pain Your note on the fridge still clings Three words Blue ink One heart I read it slow every morning Like you’re just late to start [Chorus] When the river finds Mary Will it tell her my name? Will it carry these little things Or just wash them away? If the river finds Mary Somewhere past this town Tell her I kept every echo I just can’t put them down [guitar solo with sustained notes and doom feeling, sacred, monumental] [Bridge] I walk where the banks turn sharp Call out But the reeds just sway Skimming stones Asking water What it stole that day (hey) [Outro] When the river finds Mary Will it tell her my name? Will it carry these little things Or just wash them away? If the river finds Mary Out where I can’t see Tell her I’m learning to loosen But she still walks in me walks in me walks in me walks in me But she still walks in me [guitar / Sax solo with sustained notes and doom feeling, Dark, sacred, monumental] [Grand Piano solo doom feeling, monumental] [stay muted for 3 seconds, then end, fade out]
