Red by the River - QandA

This journey has brought her to me once again

Driving the forests of Michigan

The crisp blue of sky, leaves of orange and red

Red as her lips and the hair on her head

I pull to the roadside, and walk to the place

My heart beats as warm as the blush on her face

The day that I told her forever would be

All that I wanted and all that I’d need

By the crimson maple tree

Deep as desire, she comes back to me

I will always find her here

Red by the river, I loved my dear

Winter blew cold.

The leaves turned to gray

Gray as my face when she started to say

Our love was a cancer, the terminal kind

L’ll swear to my grave I committed no crime

By the crimson maple tree

Deep as desire, she comes back to me

I will always find her here

Red by the river, I lost my dear

The months turned to years in a castle of stone

Finally the day came for me to go home

To walk where the wind fills the trees like a sail

And whispers her voice in my ear as I kneel

By the crimson maple tree

Deep as desire, she comes back to me

I will always find her here

Red by the river, I loved my dear
