The River--which one?
I'm in California. It's California-like. I fly back to Pittsburgh late tomorrow. In the meantime, more lyrics so I may continue to be awesomely nebulous.

You know a dream is like a river
Ever changin' as it flows
And a dreamer's just a vessel
That must follow where it goes
Trying to learn from what's behind you
And never knowing what's in store
Makes each day a constant battle
Just to stay between the shores... and

I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry

Too many times we stand aside
And let the waters slip away
'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow
Has now become today
So don't you sit upon the shoreline
And say you're satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance the tide... yes

I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry

There's bound to be rough waters
And I know I'll take some falls
But with the good Lord as my captain
I can make it through them all... yes

I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry

Yes, I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
'Til the river runs dry

...
I don't know that we can be friends any more.
Seriously. Garth Brooks?! We had to listen to that song over and over again in 6th grade and find all the figures of speech.
I think I'm still scarred!

*laughs* It was more an exercise in who would say something first than anything else.

It's driving me nuts though, they kept playing it on the plane I flew from Atlanta to LA while on the ground--it's like they couldn't CHANGE THE SONG. I thought I'd have to stab myself in the head.

It would have been an honorable death.

In retrospect, you're right. Though you had to look through that for symbolism and shit? Are you sure they didn't think you all were retarded in school?
