Lyrics
And they came to the river
Arrival at the river
And they came from the road
Arrival from a journey
And he wanted the sun
Desire for personal possession of the sun
Just to call his own
A yearning to claim the sun for oneself
And they walked on the dirt
Walking on unpaved ground
And they walked from the road
Traveling away from the established route
'til they came up close
Approaching the river closely
Throw your pain in the river
Metaphorically discarding emotional pain into the river
To be washed away slow
Allowing pain to be gradually cleansed away
And we walked without words
Walking together without verbal communication
And we walked with our lives
Journeying while carrying one's life experiences
Two silent birds
Symbolizing themselves as silent birds
Circled by
Being observed or encircled by something
Like our pain in the river
Comparing their pain to that of the river
And we followed the river
Trailing the river's path
And we followed the road
Continuing the journey along the road
And we walked through this land
Passing through the landscape
And we called it a home
Referring to the land as a home
But he wanted the sun
A renewed desire for personal ownership of the sun
And I wanted the whole
Seeking completeness or entirety
And the white light scatters
Describing the dispersion of light
And the sun sets low
Comparing the setting sun to pain in the river
Like the pain in the river
Symbolizing the fading away of pain like the sunset
