The River - Emma Hewitt

Long ago\nThere were so many days\nThat we would go down\nBy the river\nI know that it will get better\nIf I could find the road back\nTo the river…\nI can remember everything\nHow the words from your mouth\nWere falling like the coolest rain\nTo break this drought\nAnd I still can see your face\nAs you lay me down\nOn the ground\nBut I can’t hear you now…\nThrough years I’ve grown\nIn oh so many ways\nThat girl is gone\nJust a faded picture…\nBut I know\nThat I could go get her\nIf I could find my way back\nTo the river…\nI can remember everything\nHow the words from your mouth\nWere falling like the coolest rain\nTo break this drought\nAnd I still can see your face\nAs you lay me down\nOn the ground\nBut I can’t hear you now…
