River Like You

I've loved a river like you before, I'm the one to blame
He washed away my cleverness and hallowed out my name
I've loved a river like you before, the deep and thundering kind
He rushed into my belly and clouded over my eyes

If you wanted to be happy, which I somehow doubt
I could swallow your river if you opened your mouth

I've loved a river like you before, you can't scare me away
I've tamed the moss upon the rocks and molded the red clay

If you wanted to be happy, which would be a surprise
I could swallow your sorrow if you opened your eyes

I've loved a river like you before, I'm a river too
So you can run into me, and I'll run into you

If you wanted to be happy, which I somehow doubt
I could swallow your river if you opened your mouth

I've loved a river like you before, if only I were wise
I never learned to turn and run when I saw the water rise
