its quiet uptown
There are moments that the words don’t reach
There is suffering too terrible to name
You hold your child as tight as you can
And push away the unimaginable
The moments when you’re in so deep
It feels easier to just swim down
rivershine finds out that two of her kits died and holds them closely in the clearing and cries for a while. "Pushing away the unimaginable" is referring to her pushing away reality and "swimming down" resembles her falling into depression.
The Hamiltons move uptown
And learn to live with the unimaginable
rivershine moves on,letting someone bury her children.
I spend hours in the garden
I walk alone to the store
And it’s quiet uptown
I never liked the quiet before
I take the children to church on Sunday
A sign of the cross at the door
And I pray
That never used to happen before

His hair has gone grey. He passes every day

You knock me out, I fall apart

Look at where we are
Look at where we started
I know I don’t deserve you, Eliza
But hear me out. That would be enough
Rivershine begins talking again,but through her mate.
If I could spare his life
If I could trade his life for mine
He’d be standing here right now
And you would smile, and that would be enough
I don’t pretend to know
The challenges we’re facing
I know there’s no replacing what we’ve lost
And you need time
But I’m not afraid
I know who I married
Just let me stay here by your side
That would be enough
