The River Lyrics

I ran into the desert

Below a lonely sky

Let my heart be empty

Let my love run dry

I ran into the canyon

Where I said goodbye

Let my mind be barren

Let my body cry

The river carved the canyon

Through a million years of stone

I've been living in your blood

And I am etched into your bones

I'm the River

You're the Stone

I will run, I will wander

I was meant to roam

I'm the River

You're the Stone

I hear the ocean calling me, calling me

Home, home, home

I hear the ocean calling me

Calling me home

Between two walls you held me

We shared a dusty bed

I wore down your defenses

You forced me to bend

The river carved the canyon

Through a million years of stone

I've been living in your blood and I am

Etched into your bones

I'm the River

You're the Stone

I will run, I will wander

I was meant to roam

I'm the River

You're the Stone

I hear the ocean calling me, calling me

home, home, home

I hear the ocean calling

I never meant to hurt you

Never wanted you to change

I never meant to hurt you

I'm wild to my veins, I cannot be contained

Like the river, the river, the river

I'm the River

You're the Stone

I'm the blood and the water

You're the skin and bone

I'm the River

You're the Stone

Oh my lover

Together we're alone

I'm the River

You're the Stone

I hear the ocean calling me, calling me

home, home, home

I hear the ocean calling me

Calling me home
