Love Be a River

I followed my heart
And came to a door
Where I had to choose
Between love and war

I skipped and I stumbled
And fell out of grace
Till I found my way
Into your embrace

The future is vanishing
Fast as the tide
You offer your hand to me
Across the divide

If nothing is left
When the borders give way
Then love be a river
And carry us away

The moon’s holding still
At the edge of our feet
While the lilies are breathing
A sigh in the heat

I’ll soothe you and feed you
And guide you within
Till our bodies can’t tell
Where they end or begin

The future is vanishing
Fast as the tide
You offer your hand to me
Across the divide

If nothing is left
When the borders give way
Then love be a river
And carry us away
