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 realization 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 (Never let me go) (Never 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'll 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 Never let me go (Never let me go)
