The River

I ran into the desert
Below a lonely sky
Let my heart be empty
Let my love run dry

I ran into the canyon
Where I said goodbye
Let my mind be barren
Let my body cry

The river carved the canyon
Through a million years of stone
I've been living in your blood
And I am etched into your bones

I'm the River
You're the Stone
I will run, I will wander
I was meant to roam
I'm the River
You're the Stone
I hear the ocean calling me, calling me
Home, home, home
I hear the ocean calling me
Calling me home

Between two walls you held me
We shared a dusty bed
I wore down your defenses
You forced me to bend

The river carved the canyon
Through a million years of stone
I've been living in your blood and I am
Etched into your bones

I'm the River
You're the Stone
I will run, I will wander
I was meant to roam
I'm the River
You're the Stone
I hear the ocean calling me, calling me
home, home, home
I hear the ocean calling

I never meant to hurt you
Never wanted you to change
I never meant to hurt you
I'm wild to my veins, I cannot be contained
Like the river, the river, the river

I'm the River
You're the Stone
I'm the blood and the water
You're the skin and bone

I'm the River
You're the Stone
Oh my lover
Together we're alone

I'm the River
You're the Stone
I hear the ocean calling me, calling me
home, home, home
I hear the ocean calling me
Calling me home
