[Verse 1] I was standing on the bank of the river Cold wind catching in my sleeve Bridge humming as the cars rolled over Just another gray-blue evening Then a silver blur A window lowered Little Shiba with its head out wide And your profile flickered in the glass there Like a ghost that finally caught my eye [Chorus] River of time keeps carrying you Farther and farther Still I wade through Love and faith like stones in my shoes Heavy But they keep me close to you Why were you afraid when I said “my dear I love you I love you ” and you disappeared? God Let a miracle happen here On my knees On my knees by the river [Verse 2] All those summers You kept your distance Laughing But you never really stayed Every secret that I tried to hand you You would turn it into something strange Was it my shaking Was it my silence Was it the way I said your name? Did my honest heart feel like an siren Calling you toward something you couldn’t face? [Chorus] River of time keeps carrying you Farther and farther Still I wade through Love and faith like stones in my shoes Heavy But they keep me close to you Why were you afraid when I said “my dear I love you I love you ” and you disappeared? God Let a miracle happen here On my knees On my knees by the river [Bridge] Maybe every life we get one crossing (oh) One bright instant where we choose Do we turn the wheel and keep on driving Or pull over Step into the truth? [Chorus] River of time keeps carrying you Farther and farther Still I wade through Love and faith like stones in my shoes Heavy But they keep me close to you Why were you afraid when I said “my dear I love you I love you ” and you disappeared? God Let a miracle happen here On my knees On my knees by the river (oh God) [Outro] On my knees by the river I love you My dear If we meet again And again And again Let you stay this time Stay right here
