River Pocket Dreamer

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You keep a rock in your pocket Like a secret you forgot to hide Little thief of every seashell Dragging treasures to the riverside Tiny paws on my sandals You blink slow like you know my name You roll over in the water Turn the whole creek into a game [Chorus] You’re my river pocket dreamer Floating on your back in the sun Little whisker-face believer Like the world was made to have fun Splash once For the days we get colder Twist twice As you spin on my shoulder Otter heart Making everything lighter One soft stare And the bad parts get quieter [Verse 2] You stack stones like it matters Careful towers on a drifting leaf You dive down for a second Come back laughing like a tiny thief You nap tucked under my elbow Wet fur But I don’t care You smell like moss and morning And a sky I wanna wear [Chorus] You’re my river pocket dreamer Floating on your back in the sun Little whisker-face believer Like the world was made to have fun Splash once For the days we get colder Twist twice As you spin on my shoulder Otter heart Making everything lighter One soft stare And the bad parts get quieter [Bridge] [Handclaps Bass and vocal only] If the water runs too rough If the banks feel far apart You just paddle through the panic Do a somersault across my heart (hey!) [Chorus] You’re my river pocket dreamer Floating on your back in the sun Little whisker-face believer Like the world was made to have fun Splash once For the days we get colder Twist twice As you spin on my shoulder Otter heart Making everything lighter One soft stare And the bad parts get quieter
