The River

Why not just go now

Oh, you never wanted to stay

I've waited here for a while now

But you never came my way

The flowers love to look at you

And I wish you'd say the same about me

How could you feel nothing

When the water's cold and deep?

Oh, welcome to the river

No sense in wasting your precious time

Oh, you'll think it's getting clearer

But she'll break your breath here

She'll take your mind

Did you ever notice?

'Cause I never read the signs

The frame was out of focus

When our fingers intertwined

And oh, welcome to the river

No sense in wasting your precious time

And oh, you'll think it's getting clearer

But she'll break your breath here

She'll take your mind

Someday when we're older

All those things that you screamed you'd find

And I would have given the whole world

But it wasn't mine

And you aren't mine

Oh, welcome to the river

No sense in wasting your precious time

Oh, you'll think it's getting clearer

But she'll break your breath here

She'll take your mind
