BIRDY - JUST LIKE A RIVER DOES
I always cry on the train back home
Watching the world outside I used to know
As soon as I get there, I have to go
And the years go by
I don’t even know where I’ve been
In the blink of an eye
Could’ve all been a dream
Will I ever find somewhere to call my own?
As soon as I get there, I have to go
With two hands, meant to shape the land
Just like a river does
Just like a river does
Another day breaks and I have to go away
Run like a river does
On and on like a river does
And the landscape has changed
Since last I was here
Some people stay
And some disappear
But I always remember this part of me
And I can’t help but wonder how I ever leave
With two hands, meant to shape the land
Just like a river does
Just like a river does
Another day breaks and I have to go away
Run like a river does
On and on like a river does
Two hands, meant to shape the land
Just like a river does
Just like a river does
Another day breaks and I have to go away
Run like a river does
On and on like a river does
So I bottle the sound of the wind in the trees
Follow the salt in the air down to the sea
Just like a river does

This song should never end, on and on like a river does.

[@cezarcaruntu]

Rivers do end, you know? :)

[@ginogenero7972]

On and on like a river does is a metaphor that refers to the constant flow of a river. Don't look for the Mississippi to stop flowing in your lifetime. ; )

She is phenomenal her voice some people voice get boring she never does.

Thank you Birdy, you’re like clear water, a wave of sunshine. We sunbath under your voice and music, thank you:)

[@janpsillos5513]

Sometimes you're given a gift and know your purpose is to give it to others. It's a higher calling for old souls like Birdy. Sometimes it's lonely, but we're always where we're meant to be.

[@may_be_travel]

I never write a comment usually, but for this masterpiece I have no other choice : Thanks you for putting the right words on our confused feelings. As a traveler's soul, like the blood of sailers which is mine, I am always far from my home, my country, my motherland, the feeling of homesickness often comes back in moments of weakness. Thanks to this song I come back to her, even as far as I am, that comforts me. Thanks you so much for the help you offer us with this wonderful melody and your voice that makes us travel back . From all of Brittany, Breizh, ma bro ("Brittany, my country" in breton), THANKS YOU - will never be enough to express my gratitude -

Love everything about this woman. You never disappoint Birdy. This is beautiful, maybe my favorite of the new stuff. Your new songs are like a conversation from your soul with us. We appreciate the honor.

[@stevengaryballmoonbugmusic5455]

Jasmine you're never going to see this comment, regardless. Thanks to you and Audra Butts and others for writing this song. I heard it and time froze. I'm a former professional guitarist and spent many years on the road touring and I've experienced the loneliness and darkness never being home for friends and family spending holidays in hotels. Oddly enough many of us actually already suffer a degree of anxiety even growing up with wonderful families. It's probably inherent in artists with that allow ourselves to expose ourselves to our audience in performance but keep it inside otherwise. Still we have friends and love and happiness. My wife understands this love your music, your one of my absolute favorites. Young Heart is one of my desert island picks.

[@Robert-nn5nm]

Why can't other artists sing like Birdy ? You can hear her soul through her music. Love you Birdy 💓

[@dragonsonhigh2047]

This is the kind of song that plays at the end scene of a movie where the main character is on a black train with a cushy red interior cutting through fields of emerald green on a partly cloudy day, head leaning against the window listening to the wheels ride along the tracks and watching the dew-covered grass dance in the morning breeze like a glistening fire while thinking about the other character who went through so much with them throughout the film's events/journey who took the train going the other direction. *BONUS* At the end of the song, the screen goes to black and a "in loving memory of..." subtitle for someone who died during production or for a late parental figure fades in, embracing the last few notes of the song before resting in a brief moment of silence until the next song starts and the credits roll.
