By the River - Stu Larsen

By the river, through the summer

I waited patiently

You would promise, with all your power

To come and rescue me

To come and set me free

And you were running, through the valley

Heading straight for me

My mind was shaking, but I was ready

For you to rescue me

For you to set me free

I found a letter, floating in a bottle

Being washed away to the sea

Penned by freedom, addressed to no one

For who now could it be

I saw a vision, some kind of apparition

But it felt so real, so free

I had a conversation, a faint of deliberation

For who now could it be

For anyone but me

Something fell apart in me

As I watched my soul depart from me

Now I fade into eternity, I’m free

Something fell apart in me

As I watched my soul depart from me

Now I fade into eternity, I’m free
