By The River

Down by the river, scorned by the winter

I fell to the dust

When all through the meadow, a lullaby echoed

And swept through the earth

I wonder if this sweet sparrow's song

Will carry me to

You?

No one could know

All that I hold of you

A blanket of black came down

And swallowed the light around

Your hand in mine

And although the night has veiled the sun

I'll never run from you

I wonder if my heart empties

Will you still see it's for

You?

No one could know

All of you

And when my heart fell below the sea

The Waters rose and you reached for me

There the ground s'neath my feet

And oh, I won't let go of

You

No one could know

All that I hold of you

You

Oh storms come and go

And all that I'll hold is you
