By the River Lyrics
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
Oh no I wonder
If this sweet sparrow's song
Will carry me to
You oh
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 oh
No one could know
All that I hold of you
And when my heart fell below the sea
The waters rose and you reached for me oh
There the ground shook 'neath my feet
And oh I won't let go of
You oh
No one could know
All that I hold of you oh
You oh
Oh storms come and go
And all that I'll hold is you
Oh oh
Wow wow
Oh oh
Oh
