River
It's the dark night of the soul
Never slept in a bed so cold
Can you hear me crying out
I'm aching and so alone
If your love were a river
On my back I would lay
Let your love be a river
Come and carry me away
I'm a ship lost at sea
With nothing here to anchor me
No wind to fill my sails
Why have you forsaken me?
If your love were a river
On my back I would lay
Let your love be a river
Come and carry me away
I have heard your cries, my love
I have never left your side, my love
The emptiness I know so well
I wept until the blood fell
I drank the bitter cup
Darkness came to swallow me up
I rose to meet the dawn
In brilliant light to carry you home
Let my love be a river
Rest your weary heart
