Remembering You (By the River/By the Door)

High banks
I remember
rivers flow
and I'm sitting
wind in the trees
above.

Memory is a funny thing
sometimes
so clear
a winter sunset
sometimes
I've lost
your face

And then
again
I've found you
here
all the lost ones
here
the lost times

I'm remembering you
by the river
by the door
and you're walking out
from the gravel bar
tears
into the flow

And I'd follow
but the water
washes everything
away.
