The River

I'll take you to the river
But you'll cross it on your own
I'll show you to the mountains
Then I'll find my own road

I'll take you to the sea shore
Watch you sail out with the tide
As you fade on the horizon
Our tether is untied

I've carried you as far
And as high, as high as I can take you
Believe that it's true when I say
This ain't the song I thought I'd be singing today
But honey, you've made it this way

I'll take you to the river
But you'll cross it all alone
And I'll leave you with the memory
Of my heart you did once own

I've carried you as far
And as high, as high as I can take you
Believe that it's true when I say
This ain't the song I hoped I'd be singing today
But honey, you've made it this way

I'll take you to the river
But you'll cross it all alone
And I'll leave you with the memory
Of my heart you did once
Own
Own
Own
Own

And I'll leave you with the memory
Of my love you did once know
