The River of Nostalgia

The River of Nostalgia
Its current is swift
Dip in one toe
And you're a lost cause.
I'm a good swimmer
But I still might drown
When it's you
That's pulling me along.
I've been fighting for days
No I've been fighting for weeks
No I've been fighting for years
And the River's still winning.
Maybe I should have burned the pictures
The River's drowning the smiles
And smashing me against rocks of despair
Leaving me tangled in rushes of fights
Fishes full of lonely nights
Driftwood carrying the days I wanted to die.
The River of Nostalgia
Just reminds me how fast time is moving
How long I have behind me
And I wonder how much further I can go.
