By the river Lyrics by The Honey Trees

Bright Fire

0

[Verse 1]
Down by the river, scorned by the winter
I fell to the dust
When all through the meadow, a lullaby echoed
And swept through the earth
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I wonder if this sweet sparrow's song
Will carry me to
[Chorus 1]
You?
No one could know
All that I hold of you
[Verse 2]
A blanket of black came down
And swallowed the light around
Your hand in mine
And although the night has veiled the sun
I'll never run from you
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I wonder if my heart empties
Will you still see it's for
[Chorus 2]
You?
No one could know
All of you
[Bridge]
And when my heart fell below the sea
The Waters rose and you reached for me
There the ground s'neath my feet
[Pre-Chorus 3]
And oh, I won't let go of
[Chorus 3]
You
No one could know
All that I hold of you
[Chorus 4]
You
Oh storms come and go
And all that I'll hold is you
