Wait by the River

I will wait by the river In the light of the moon At the edge of the city I will wait for you Though I can't wait forever Someday I'll be dead and gone And I won't be forgiven For what I've done I will wait by the river I will wait by the river I will wait by the river I will wait by the river I will cry out to heaven As it rains down on me I will beg for forgiveness Get down on my knees If I can't change the weather Maybe I can change your mind If we can't be together What's the point of life Baby, I didn't mean the things I said I don't honestly wish you were dead I'm a fool; I'm just a man If I only could hold you again And the stars fill the river As it flows into the sky And the mind leaves the body And floats higher and higher If we can't be together I will leave this world behind If I can't touch your body Can I touch the sky? I will wait by the river I will wait by the river I will wait by the river I will wait by the river.
