Bea's Song Lyrics - Cowboy Junkies

Speed river at my feet running low and flat 

I'm sitting here burning daylight, 

Thinking about the past 

And that distance out there 

Where the earth meets the sky 

The slightest move and this river odd 

Pulls me further down 

John's at my side, but he's sitting on firmer ground 

John says I look at the moon and the stars 

These days more often than I look into his eyes 

And I can't disagree so I don't say nothing 

I just stare on past his face at venus rising, 

Like a shining speck of hope hanging over the horizon 

With each passing year that I sit here 

That horizon seems to inch just that much nearer 

And all that appears on it seems as clear as spit 

But if there's on thing in my life 

That these years have taught 

It's that you can always see it coming 

But you can never stop it

Speed river at my feet running low and flat 

I'm sitting here burning daylight, 

Thinking about the past 

And that distance out there 

Where the earth meets the sky 

The slightest move and this river odd 

Pulls me further down 

John's at my side, 

But he's not noticing that I'm drowning 

The slightest move and this river odd 

Pulls me further down 

John's at my side, 

But he's not noticing that I'm drowning
