lyrics

I walk to the river on my own.
I need some thinking time,
And I need to know if you
Want to give this another chance.
'Cos I do, I'm feeling blue and lost without you

So you told me you were missing school.
You'd take the train to me and stay until the morning.
But it's all right 'cos I don't worry,
So I'm sitting by this river now.

I concentrate but I don't stare.
My breath shows up against the air.
For conversation's sake, I talk about the weather
The sun comes up, the clouds away,
Watching at the break of day.

So you told me you were missing school.
You'd take the train to me and stay until the morning.
But it's all right 'cos I don't worry,
So I'm sitting by this river now.

I laugh and I don't cry,
When I say my goodbye.
I smile and close my eyes,
I'll see you when you're here.

So you told me you were missing school.
You'd take the train to me and stay until the morning.
But it's all right 'cos I don't worry,
So I'm sitting by this river now.
I'm waiting by this river now.
You're with me by this river now.
