Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Oh, friendships yet to be set

Will billow in your sails

Every day

Every day

Love that'll take your breath

Just to be winter frail

Is the only way

The only way

[Chorus]

Take me over the hills

In the din of a dawn chorus

Double the farthest that I've ever run

Bring us home something bright from the river

Bring us home something beautiful, son

Fall hopelessly time after time

But pay no mind to circling birds

[Verse 2]

If and when you cry

Feed it to the flowers

You'll find along the way

Along the way

Funny, wise, and kind

Use those superpowers

Every day

Every day

[Chorus]

Take me over the hills

In the din of a dawn chorus

Double the farthest that I've ever run

Bring us home something bright from the river

Bring us home something beautiful, son

Oh-oh

Mmm-mmm

Bring us home something bright from the river

Bring us home something beautiful, son

Fall hopelessly time after time

But pay no mind to circling birds

[Refrain]

Bring us home something bright from the riverside

From the river, from the river, from the river, oh-oh

Bright, bright, from the river, from the river, son

Oh-oh

Bright, bright, from the river, from the riverside

[Refrain]

Bring us home something bright from the riverside

From the river, from the river, from the river, oh-oh

Bright, bright, from the river, from the river, son

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Bright, bright, from the river, from the riverside

[Refrain]

Bring us home something bright from the riverside

Bright, bright, from the river, from the river, son

From the river, from the river, from the river, oh-oh

Bright, bright, from the river, from the riverside

Bright, bright, from the river, from the river, son

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Bright, bright, from the river, from the riverside

[Refrain]

Mmm, bring us home something bright from the riverside

Bright, bright, from the river, from the river, son

From the river, from the river, from the river, oh-oh-oh-oh

Bright, bright, from the river, from the riverside

Bright, bright, from the river, from the river, son

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Bright, bright, from the river, from the riverside

[Refrain]

Oh, bring us home something bright from the riverside

Bright, bright, from the river, from the river, son

From the river, from the river, from the river, oh-oh-oh-oh

Bright, bright, from the river, from the riverside

Bright, bright, from the river, from the river, son

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Bright, bright, from the river, from the riverside

[Outro]

Bright, bright, from the river, from the river, son

Bright, bright, from the river, from the riverside

Bright, bright, from the river, from the river, son

Bright, bright, from the river, from the riverside

Bright, bright, from the river, from the river, son
