Wait by the River - Lord Huron

I will wait by the river in the light of the moon

At the edge of the city, I will wait for you

Though I can’t wait forever, someday I’ll be dead and gone

And I won’t be forgiven for what I’ve done

I will wait by the river

I will wait by the river

I will wait by the river

I will wait by the river

I will cry out to heaven as it rains down on me

I will beg for forgiveness, get down on my knees

If I can’t change the weather, maybe I can change your mind

If we can’t be together, what’s the point of life?

Baby, I didn’t mean the things I said

I don’t honestly wish you were dead

I’m a fool, I’m just a man

If I only could hold you again

And the stars fill the river as it flows into the sky

And the mind leaves the body and floats higher and higher

If we can’t be together, I will leave this world behind

If I can’t touch your body, can I touch the sky?

I will wait by the river

I will wait by the river

I will wait by the river

I will wait by the river
