Everything That Rises Must Converge



Lyrics

Honor among thieves
My crackling clothes
They cover me like leaves
Roll up a sleeve and hold my hand
She saying I
I know corrida
Kick up the soil, spoil a pattern in the sand
He's saying Me, I don't believe you
But then he can't tell the water
From the land

And it's blue blue blue
A color and a surge
Everything that rises must converge
She says one day soon
You and I will merge
Everything that rises must converge

Nothing is for free the story goes
You hear it and believe
Now don't you grieve or look behind
He's saying Why
Why do we do this?
This is the very thing that's
Preying on his mind

And she don't know
Which way to go
She says If you find it
Darling let me know
And he says Well
This could be so
Says I'm a car crash
Now tell me baby
Does it show?

And it's blue blue blue
A color and a surge
Everything that rises must converge
She says one day soon
You and I will merge
Everything that rises must converge
