Lyrics
This River
I?ll take my chances on the river
The road is dark behind
I?ll build a boat to sail this fever
You can wait right here
You build the arms of you perfect lover
I?ll build a paddle to steer
And if I should drown beneath black water
You can find me here
It won?t be long now, till you come around
It won?t be long now, I will wait right here
So I?ve sailed beyond the mirror
The future is clear
And these stones that way my pockets
Leave me nothing to fear
Can you fly over mountains?
Can you swim the sea?
All these troubles that you?ve grown out of
They wait for me
It won?t be long now, till you come around
It won?t be long now, I will wait right here
(Repeat)
