Northbound. · Track 10
Where The River Slows
The album’s closing reflection on home, stillness and the point where searching finally gives way to knowing.
You don’t have to search anymore.
Lyrics
Verse 1
There’s an old bench by the water Weathered smooth by passing years Every season leaves a story Every silence settles here The current moves so gently Barely saying where it goes I have stopped expecting answers Where the river slowly flows
Chorus
Maybe this was always Where my road was leading to Not a place upon a map Just a different kind of view Every mile behind me Every dream I’ve ever known Finds a little peace at last Where the river slows
Verse 2
Shadows stretch across the water Evening gathers in the trees Nothing asks to be remembered Nothing asks to leave A bird crosses the stillness Without a sound below Some things only find you Where the river slows
Bridge
I spent years chasing tomorrow Thinking that was where I’d be Now the light upon the water Feels like all I need to see
Final Chorus
Maybe home was never Only walls or open doors Maybe home is simply knowing You don’t have to search anymore The stars arrive in silence One by one they show And I smile without a reason Where the river slows
