Back To 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.

If only my feet could fall as fast as a heart does

I would be so long gone

But I'm stuck, stuck under your thumb

I can't get up

I can't get up, up I can't get up

If only my eyes could see as high as a mountain

Or wherever your heart's gone

But I have fallen on the bank of this river

I can't get up

I can't get up, up I can't get up

If only my heart could speak into this river

And you'd drink me up

I could be free of all these lonesome shivers

I could give myself up (give myself up)

We all go back to the river

We will all come undone

And there you will be, my love, with the faintest touch

And I will give myself up

Give myself up, up

I will give myself up
