The City With No Rivers

We took him to the train, crossed the border
The city with no name and no rivers
The windows all became pure and golden
The promises of kings and their orders
The city with no river sings

Now in my dreams, he’s there in the darkness
The careless river path there in cursive
Written in his hand like a warning
The ones we never found waiting for us
The city with no river sings
The city with no
The city with no river sings

The city with no river sings
The city with no
And the city with no river sings
