The River

Follow your heart to the water

Fill your pockets with stone

Throw your arms around me

Never let me go.

You were the first - you wouldn't be the last

What the river took

we could never replace

And as the pain set in

so did the realization

You were never coming home.

For nights we lay awake

Wishing for answers

hoping against all hope

And if love could change the course of fate

These nights

we move mountains.

But as the news filtered down the line

The impact shook us

Shook us to the core

Loss struck like a dagger in our aching hearts.

So follow your heart to the water

Fill your pockets with stone

Throw your arms around me

Never let me go.

It's not the years in your life

It's not the years in your life

It's not the years in your life

It's the life in your years!

Old soul

so it's said…

The day we lost is the day I found regret

Not in the waters that embraced you

But in the wake your absence left.

Sink into me!

Sink into me!

Hold out your hands

Sink into me

Hold out your hands

I'll take you away.

Hold out your hands

Sink into me

Hold out your hands

I'll take you away.

Hold out your hands

Sink into me

Hold out your hands

I'll take you away.

Hold out your hands

sink into me

Hold out your hands

I'll take you away

Hold out your hands

Surrender the weight of this world.

Follow your heart to the water

Fill your pockets with stone

Throw your arms around me…

Follow your heart to the water

Fill your pockets with stone

Throw your arms around me

Never let me go.

Never let me go.

Never let me go.

Never let me go.
