Lyrics

Deep in the River

Far away eyes
He dreams the day away
Knee deep in the river
He looks up at the sky

He casts out his line
A tether in flight
His peace lives here
Where the river runs high

The melting of frost
Fallow years of the heart
Frost turns to water
With the warmth of the sun

I know it?s my turn
To go where you?ve been
To the darkest of dark
Where the loneliness lives
You?re coming out the other side
There?s a shimmer of hope
In your eyes

Yours is a good heart
Like a slow burning fire
With you there?s an ease
Awakened, inspired

The stitches that kept you
Mended so long
Are gently loosening
They?re coming undone
Something good is waiting for you
And deep in the river
Something?s coming back to you

I ?m looking over this stretch of road
You?re somewhere between there and home
It?s a map full of wonder, destination unknown
And deep in the river
Eventually time lets us know

There?s a reason you?re here
The signs say so
Like that slow even fire
Your heart gives me warmth

The longing, the yearning lives deep in the river
Where it takes us we cannot know
But the water reflects where we need to go



I know it?s my turn
To go where you?ve been
To the darkest of dark
Where the loneliness lives
You?re coming out the other side
I?m coming out the other side

And I?m hoping
That the lightness of joy
Stays in your eyes
