lyrics

Well, I dreamed you got a package from me
40 miles wide and a centimeter deep
I slipped and fell and broke all my teeth on the icy pavement

You opened it up and looked at me
but my toothless grin was all I could see
but I knew in my heart that the box was empty
and I don't know what the hell that meant

But in the Nonesuch River with you
it all starts to come unglued
waiting around is more than all that I can do
in the Nonesuch River with you

Well, I swore to myself that this was the year I wouldn't get sick or cry a single tear
but I guess I broke that promise because I've been coughing up a lung
As far as tears go you got different kinds, different kinds of noses and different eyes
As for me I ain't got too many left inside, that ship has already sunk

in the Nonesuch River with you
crawling up from the blues
asking myself if I ever had a clue
crossing the Nonesuch River with you

Well the Colorado's muddy past a certain point
and the Mississippi's filled with girls and boys
The Tijuana River's run nearly dry, it ain't hardly there
The Piscataqua's got a big green bridge
Snake's got the ashes of Damien
The sunset looking west o'er the Hudson, it's almost too much to bear

But the Nonesuch River with you
you know it don't run true
but it runs to the ocean, wide and blue
The Nonesuch River with you
