By The River Lyrics

Stu Larsen By The River

One, two, three, four

By the river

One, two, three, four

By the river, through the summer
I waited patiently
You would promise, with all your power
To come and rescue me
To come and set me free

And you were running, through the valley
Heading straight for me
My mind was shaking, but I was ready
For you to rescue me
For you to set me free

I found a letter, floating in a bottle
Being washed away to the sea
Penned by freedom, addressed to no one
For who now could it be

I saw a vision, some kind of apparition
But it felt so real, so free
I had conversation, a faint of deliberation
For who now could it be
For anyone but me

(Something fell apart in me)
(As I watched my soul depart from me)
(As I fade into eternity)

(Something fell apart in me)
(As I watched my soul depart from me)
(As I fade into eternity)

(Something fell apart in me)
(As I watched my soul depart from me)
(As I fade into eternity)

Something fell apart in me
As I watched my soul depart from me
As I fade into eternity

Something fell apart in me
As I watched my soul depart from me
As I fade into eternity
