The River Song

I tried my best to treat her right and let her know I loved her when I told her
But my words she put out of sight why do they always want a man much colder
Even when I'd hold her tight she'd look at me like all I did was scold her
And all I could conclude from looking in her eyes was that I didn't know her

So close your eyes darling we don't need them if without them we feel warmer
And if you open up your heart you'll feel love hate only makes us older
Was what I told her

Let the sky and sea and trees ease your anxious mind and all your worries
You'll notice that the natural tides of time make change but never in a hurry
Like poetry that's gone astray you'll make it anyway hurt souls go seeking
But only if your gift is true and made with every ounce of you that's strong and yours And beautiful and working

So close your pretty eyes darling you don't need them nothing goes unnoticed
Like Heaven's hymn horizons reach that silent and eternal place we're after
We can't get there faster
So take it easy
And be kind baby we're all in this thing together and it's lasting
And I'll be there for you even when you're not for me just like the river
My love I'll give her

Life makes thieves of all of us it seems that this may be the great disaster
Though pain makes greed it's a bust true love never takes what it's not given
So even when she was unfair I didn't care cuz I was thinking bigger
Yeah we all miss her
I tried my best to help us both and let her know I loved her when I told her
And now I'm older
But I'm not colder
