Kiss The River

Kiss The River - Paul Oakley

I still remember falling to the floor and

Now I often wonder how I ever dared to let you come

Even closer closer than the air around me

Underneath my skin

And I remember sitting down beside the river

The water moving heaving like a living breathing thing

Moving closer I was strangely drawn and then I

Heard you call my name

And now I'm drowning drowning in your life

Somehow I'm living I'm living just to die

Just like the river rolls into the sea

So I surrender to the sweetest love rolling over me

It's funny how the memory can fade but then I'm

Still reminded when I smell the rain and I feel

Moved to kneel and live it all again

And I try to kiss the river

And now I'm dying just to live again

And I am longing waiting 'til the rain

Becomes a river swelling like a flood

So I can dive into the sweetest love

Until I'm drowning drowning in your life

I'm living I'm living just to die

Just like the river rolls into the sea

So I surrender to the sweetest love

Until I'm drowning drowning in your life

Some how I'm living I'm living just to die

Just like the river rolls into the sea

So I surrender to the sweetest love rolling over me
