Where the River Knows Our Names

[Verse 1] Morning dew still on the clover, Boots in stirrups, I lean over— Whisper to my girl, “You ready to fly?” She's white as clouds and wild as thunder, Gallops like the world’s a wonder, Through the stream beds, hooves kissin’ the sky. [Pre-Chorus] We don’t need no road or reigns, We ride the winds, not chasing fame— Just the song of birds and breath of flame, She and I, we feel the same. [Chorus] We ride where the river knows our names, Up mountains high and through the rain, Her heartbeat is my own refrain, One soul, one skin, one wild terrain. And the forest bows when we appear, Like time forgets that we were here— I don’t need much, just wind and reins, And my white horse by my side again. [Verse 2] Maple leaves and pine behind us, She turns sharp like stars remind us— There's no fence that love can’t leap through. Deep green trails and midnight hollows, She runs where even eagles follow— When we ride, the sky turns blue. [Pre-Chorus] She don’t talk, but I still hear her, In her breath, the world feels nearer— Through the silence, it gets clearer, We’re just dust that’s drawn together. [Chorus] We ride where the river knows our names, Up mountains high and through the rain, Her heartbeat is my own refrain, One soul, one skin, one wild terrain. And the forest bows when we appear, Like time forgets that we were here— I don’t need much, just wind and reins, And my white horse by my side again. [Bridge — Instrumental swell] (Fiddle soars above gentle harmonics as the forest seems to hum back) (Banjo sparkles in 6/8 time; ambient textures weave in) [Spoken/Soft Vocals Over Bridge] They say a girl can’t live on dreams... But they’ve never flown with hooves like wings— She carries me where no one’s been, Where heaven hides in roots and streams. [Final Chorus — Bigger harmonies, echo effects] We ride where the river knows our names, Up mountains high and through the rain, Her heartbeat is my own refrain, One soul, one skin, one wild terrain. The wind is loud but love is clear— And if I’m gone, just know I’m near— I’m out there still, no fear, no chains, With my white horse chasing sky again.
