River Don't Care
Gord Downie
I write about words
Try and make them sound like my
Thoughts of nature will still accept me
No matter what I want
River don't care
What you write for it
Your throw-away thoughts where
You cast into it
What you want into it
I don't care about nature
Nature don't care about it
I throw all I had at it
Ineffable shit
The pain, the blood and spit
It's all invitation
To be indiscreet
To suck and blow at the same time
To work both sides of the street
River don't care
What I write for it
Your throwaway thoughts
What you cast for it
What you pour into it
I don't care about nature
Nature don't care about me
I throw all I had at it
Ineffable shit
The pain, the blood and spit
I can't love you now
I cannot be that guy
I couldn't do what you do
I can not I cannot not to try
