By this river

I don't know but lately, for the past three days, I can't seem to get Brian Eno's By This River out of my head. I hated it the first time I heard it (down, down, down, ever falling down...) but now it just seems appropriate for my general mood.

By This River

Here we are stuck by this river
You and I underneath a sky
That's ever falling down down down
Ever falling down


Through the day as if on an ocean
Waiting here always failing to remember
Why we came came came
I wonder why we came


You talk to me as if from a distance
And I reply with impressions chosen
From another time time time
From another time.
