Lyrics Mason Jennings – On The Starry Banks
Text:
Standing in command
A hatchet in my hand
Choppin’ up the dining room table
I need the wood to make
Away from you while I’m still able
The anger and deceit
We tried so hard to beat
Kept stalking us like an animal
The landscape of our lives
Transformed before our eyes
To it became some kind a jungle
With a river running through
River running through
Between me and you
On the starry banks
On the starry banks
On the starry banks I lost you
On the starry banks
On the starry banks
On the starry banks I lost you
I lost you
A movie hits the screen
Projector stays unseen
The audience erupts into laughter
Meanwhile across my brain
A darkened movie is playing
A commercial and artistic disaster
A falcon sees the hare
From way up in the air
Somewhere high above
Something without love
Is bearing down on me in that manner
I lost you
I lost you
I lost you
On the starry banks
On the starry banks
On the starry banks I lost you
On the starry banks
On the starry banks
On the starry banks I lost you
On the starry banks
On the starry banks
On the starry banks I lost you
On the starry banks
On the starry banks
On the starry banks I lost you
I lost you
