I felt the cold of the ice and water
Come flowing through as it pulled me under
I saw my hand reaching up in the ether
And touched the branches in my cold white fever

Flow white water
Flow down to me

I heard you calling in the city canyons
I should have waited by the window lanterns
But I went running through the moonlit forest
Alone and searching for the cold white current

Flow white water
Flow down to me
Flow white water
Flow me out to sea

And coming through the mist into the calm and clear
In the emerald gleam I can feel you near
The dogwoods on the banks glowing in the gloom
On every naked branch a beautiful white bloom

I see you running in the tall wild grasses
Young and free along the river rapids
Your body folding in the foreign air
Your lovely hands reaching down from there

Flow white water
Flow clean on through
Flow white water
Flow me o'er to you

And coming through the mist into the calm and clear
In the emerald gleam I can see you near
Standing on the shore glowing in the gloom
From your parted lips a beautiful white bloom

Sea Wolf

Sea Wolf is a band led by Alex Brown Church, an indie folk musician based in Los Angeles, California. Church attended film school at NYU and was a founding member of a group called Irving in 1998. Many of the songs he wrote as a member of Irving didn't fit the group's style and so Church began performing as Sea Wolf with a rotating ensemble of backing musicians, playing locally in Los Angeles and recording demos in Seattle with producer Phil Ek (Band of Horses, The Shins, Fleet Foxes). Sea Wolf signed to Dangerbird Records in 2007 and released the Get To The River Before It Runs Too Low EP and a full-length titled Leaves In The River. The latter hit No. 24 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. more »
