Mary Chapin Carpenter - River Lyrics
River full of stones when there's no rainRiver full and rushing when the clouds let loose againRiver every season like a prayerWe're standing in the shallows making crosses in the airChorus:Want to build the strongest bridgeWant to love you the best I canFeel no fear upon the edgeHere's my heart, baby take my handRiver like a poem to the treesRiver telling stories to the rushes and the leavesRiver every season like a vowWe're standing in the shallows wondering who will save usWant to build the strongest bridgeWant to love you the best I canFeel no fear upon the edgeHere's my heart, baby take my handInstrumental ChorusRiver from the currents to the poolsRiver turning kinder turning suddenly too cruelRiver every season like a dreamWe're standing in the shallows wading in to wash us cleanWant to build the strongest bridgeWant to love you the best I canFeel no fear upon the edgeHere's my heart, baby take my handWant to build the strongest bridgeWant to love you the best I canFeel no fear upon the edgeHere's my heart, baby take my handWant to hold you close to me, never fail you, never falterSeeing all that love can see, reflecting on the water...
