Down by the river

I saw you by the river so distraught
Misguided where the rivers cross and fork
You looked at me and said
The truth has cleared my head
My journey turns to an end I had a call

You carried on a dream so strong and deep
That followed you each night in your sleep
You knew this place by heart
Your dream had left a mark
It was guided where the rivers cross and fork

Where the rivers run together my heart will not forget
My days has been like heaven since the day we met
And I will tell you all the sweetest things
From my heart down by the river where I live

One day you couldn't hold onto your life
Your sorrow had hurt you like a knife
But nothing it could tell
Your letter of farewell
My prayers still keep on asking why

I'm standing here again all alone
My dream has died and turned to a stone
You knew this place by heart
It was guided where the rivers cross and fork
From my heart down by the river where I live
