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 realisation

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

(Don't let me go)

(Don't 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 will 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
