The River - Elli Ingram

The sun flickers through and you’re still here

I can’t help but turn to face you

I run my fingers through your hair

You were only meant to stay tonight

I never once asked to meet your mother

I never even asked to be your bride

And now that we’re here, do you remember

You were never meant to stay the night

Swimming up stream to get you home

The water comes towards us, begging 'please don’t go'

If I drown will you come for me?

Throw me a ring, I can’t let go

I never once asked to meet your father

I never even asked to be your bride

And now that we’re here, do you remember

You were never meant to stay the night

You pulled me into this

The water’s deep, and I can’t swim

This love is happening

I can’t resist, you poison me with your kiss

Now my love is all for you

A love I never knew
