The Perfect Plan Lyrics

meet me down alone by the river
ready the boat we push off at sunset
no regrets just clear empty spaces
one last look, prepare yourself hold on tight

I've been watching you some time at some distance never knew some things still surprise me like how your eyes can capture my moments why return when all I believe is

here at once I tell you what I mentioned did I forget to mention
the breeze is from the west
almost too often
the sounds are solace-softened

drove a hundred miles in a foreign land
found my refuge scattered like dust upon the landscape and all we need is a perfect plan
and I believe I have one
I buried it in the darkened sand

so it rained we walked
you said you felt nothing
almost there
there can you feel that
swear I saw this scene in some movie
long before or was it a dream

I had to wait until the window opened
until the spell was broken to bits
I thought I left behind a shadow of doubt within the hollows

drove a hundred miles in a foreign land
found my refuge scattered like dust upon the landscape and all we need is a perfect plan
and I believe I have one
I buried it in the darkened sand

darker still, how still is the river
yes we wrote it years ago in letters
did we expect it ever to come
and come to think of it I noticed
a shifting in the distance
a changing in the substance

drove a hundred miles in a foreign land
found my refuge scattered like dust upon the landscape and all we need is a perfect plan
and I believe I've got it

drove a hundred miles in a foreign land
found my refuge scattered like dust upon the landscape and all we need is a perfect plan
and I have seen a hint of it
almost caught a glimpse of it
maybe it is best if we

tie the boat
respect for the river
even time
keeps her own secrets
