Fountains Of Wayne - Song Of The Pa**aic lyrics

The rivers run and none shall know How long their waters yet may flow We read the record of the past While time withholds the future cast Yet in their flowing to the sea The rivers fill their destiny And to the measure of their lays Run on and on through endless days And in the rise The light and glow Of grand old rivers in their flow From distant hills through dales and lea The fair pa**aic seeks the sea The fair pa**aic seeks the sea And overhead in arch of stone There flows a tide so slow and prone To will of men whose genius planned A waterway that runs through land Until its slow and lazy tide O'erflows its banks on either side And vaste expanse of wasteland fills With ooze of water at its wilt And in the rise The light and glow Of grand old rivers in their flow From distant hills through dales and lea The fair pa**aic seeks the sea The fair pa**aic seeks the sea
