By the river where the morning bends
I found your name in the moving blue
Every little ripple draws me in
Slow as light falling over you
Stay with me where the water shines
Where the sky leans low and time turns kind
Heart to heart in the open air
I can feel our future growing there
In the hush between the branch and breeze
You move close and the silence blooms
There is wonder resting on your skin
There is mercy in this quiet room
If the day grows dim,
I will still know
How your eyes make a lantern of the dark
Take my hand through the silver flow
Let this small flame open like a spark
Stay with me where the water shines
Where the sky leans low
and time turns kind
Heart to heart in the open air
I can feel our future growing
there Ahh, ahh, over the water
Ahh, ahh,
close to you
