about

The song Let The River Answer is also on the last record we recorded, but that was more of a demo version. It became our opener at live shows, and the arrangement developed, and so I was keen to re-record it.

Townes Van Zandt often re-recorded songs for subsequent albums if he thought he could add something different.

The song itself was inspired by Judee Sill, Nina Simone and Leonard Cohen.

lyrics

Like a raven with its mind on fire
I hurry up and down the land
I keep looking for something in this dream of mine
A paperback is in my hand
Then I'll see you standing in the yard
And soar up from a sea of lies
I'm trying hard to reason as a child sees things
Maybe that would be unwise
Will you let the river answer?
Will you let the river answer?
Will you let the river answer?
Will you be baptised?
Now I'm chewing on the things you said
And feeling like a grain of sand
I guess there was a reason why things reached a head
But clearly I don't understand
So will you let the river answer?
Will you let the river answer?
Will you let the river answer?
Will you be baptised?
