About This Song
This music video was done by my friends Kyla Ferrier, Michael Janke and Eric Pauls— who also shot the video for my song Mushroom. They're amazing filmmakers and it was so cool to see them take the song to a totally new place.
Lyrics
Two drifters
Sleeping river
Pan for glory
Fated to secrets
Shake and shiver
Search for glimmers
For riches, fortune
By cunning or violence
Who could ever really know?
Dreams of gold inside our soul
Visions that will call us forth
Wherever it is, I go, I swear to you that
Two schemers
Long distant dreamers
What lonely fortunes
Planned for in secret
One lost it
The beautiful locket
He put in his pocket
The other saw envy
Who could ever really know?
What made him reach into your coat
And now and for evermore
Guilt will follow him wherever he goes to
Two drifters
Sleeping river
The lonely fortune
Pulled from another
Five fingered glory
One left in the morning
Fall into silence
In envy and folly
Who can ever really know?
The story deep in every soul
Oh what lonely fortunes make
Forged in violence, don't you know
All of us drifters
Sleepers and grifters
Those we've forgotten
And those we step over
You gold panning pilgrim
One in a billion
If fortune should take you
Will it recreate you?
