Down By The River (Feat. Anushka Senanayake)

from Chasing Joy by Asela Perera

/

lyrics

Down by the river,
I find myself another time,
To be here alone with you.
Stare at your reflection,
A state of mind,
Why this misdirection now?
Are we strangers who've outgrown?

How do we survive?
And now why do I not find a common ground to stand at?

When we're down by the river,
A drop of rain divides an ocean,
Please bring perspective in disguise,
Countless moments of silence,
Where we lost our way stranded on different islands,
Each to their own, so it goes.

May you find your own river,
Of tides that bring a fortune,
At the end of the line,
May we sail to an ocean,
A guided resolution like the time.

We were down by the river,
Wild & free with a childlike notion,
Of how our days should be spent.
Singing songs of revolution,
Summer days where our hearts knew better.
Staring at the storm up ahead,
Down by the river.
