Deep As The River
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Deep as the river so deep is my loneliness
Deep as the river when we're apart
Cold as the river so cold are my empty arms
Cold as the river my empty heart
The leaves all a tremble, tremble no more
The night the stars all assemble and listen to my sigh
Swift as the river that's running to kiss the sea
Swift as the river may you come back to me
Swift as the river that's running to kiss the sea
Swift as the river may you come back to me
