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
Oh, no, I wonder
if this sweet sparrow's song
Will carry me to
You, oh~
No one could know
All that I hold of you
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
I wonder if my heart empties
Will you still see it's for
You, oh~
No one could know
All that I hold of you
And when my heart fell below the sea
The waters rose and you reached for me, oh~
There the ground shook 'neath my feet
And oh~ I won't let go of
You, oh~
No one could know
All that I hold of you,oh~
You,oh~
Oh~ storms come and go
And all that I'll hold is you
Oh, oh
Wow,wow
Oh,oh~
Oh~~~~
