The River - Plunkett

I want a life he said

Where everything’s right he said

The first thing out loud for two days

The pieces are many

If I miss one I’ll be empty

I know it’s a lot but that’s me

My thoughts are all one

My thoughts are all one

I know there’s a place he said

A beautiful place he said

I’ll wait 'cos there’s only one way

The waiting gets harder

And my patience slips further

But I wait slowly by each new day

My thoughts are all one

My thoughts are all one

I’m burning inside in this cold winters sun

My thoughts are all one

My thoughts are just one

Let me go

Out by the river here

I still know what I really fear

But at least I can breathe for a while

One day I’ll come back home

But won’t walk this path alone

And think of this boy here and smile
