lyrics
GIRL BY THE RIVER
Girl by the river, yes boy forgive her
Her beauty is timeless as the sea
Bells of the church chime
Marking in real time
Sweet honey sunshine on me
Oh girl by the river
Will wash our sorrows to the sea
We became sparrows in the heartbroken desert
Drawn towards the rivers edge
Wings tired and wounded
Circling downward
Lions await at the shore
But the wind was with us
For one last victory
Before the cruelty of life takes it's toll
I once believed in magic
Gods and devils
I still believe our love was true
We became sparrows
In the warm autumn moonlight
Where no one could hurt me and you
Girl by the river, yes boy forgive her
Her beauty is timeless as the sea
Bells of the church chime
Marking in real time
Sweet honey sunshine on me
Oh girl by the river
Will wash our sorrows to the sea
We became sparrows in the heartbroken desert
Drawn towards the rivers edge
Wings tired and wounded
Circling downward
Lions await at the shore
But the wind was with us
For one last victory
Before the cruelty of life takes it's toll
I once believed in magic
Gods and devils
I still believe our love was true
We became sparrows
In the warm autumn moonlight
Where no one could hurt me and you
