By The River

(album: Between The Roses - 2015)

There's a river in my soul
Slowly drifting water guiding me home
How it calms me as it flows
Drags my heart back to the shore
There's a moon up in the sky
Turning every shadow back into light
The stars are dancing in your eyes
As they dance, they glow so bright [x2]

Oh, this can't be just a dream
Everything makes sense when you're with me
I just want to keep you safe
You deserve that every day

There's an earth beneath our feet
And it smiles when you are walking with me
Beneath the moon that lifts you
Watch over me and keep me safe when I'm asleep
We were made to feel alone
Incomplete and on our own
But by the river in my soul
I swear to God I've found a home [x2]

Oh, this can't be just a dream
Everything makes sense when you're with me
I just want to keep you safe
You deserve that every day
You deserve that every day

As the wind blows through the trees
There's a warmth of you inside of me
Take my heart and let it be
By the river, set me free
