Dry Bed

• Dead When I Found Her
• Rag Doll Blues

White sheets run red

Red sheets burn white

This is not your bed

So very far from home again

Dirty river water runs all the way to your room

The water carries memories

Let them guide you

Take a breath and make your way back down

Against the stream

Upstream against the knives of cold

Will time destroy the weight of what we know?

Draw the map a circling spiral down

Destination your middle name

Momentum saved

Now just wait

Soak this in river water

You might be asleep or you might be awake

It doesn’t matter now

Dirty river water holds the waste that you make

It doesn’t matter now

Now just wait

Your white sheets run red

You haven’t heard a word of what I’ve said

You can’t drown in a dry river bed

Your white sheets run red

And this is not your bed

Your white sheets run red

You haven’t heard a word of what I’ve said

And this is not your bed
