River Slowed

[Verse 1] It was quiet Peaceful No sound but your name in my chest Birds went still In the branches Even the trees leaned in to rest Two souls close No need for witness Two hearts speaking skin to skin [Pre-Chorus] And the river slowed down At the edge of your touch The wind lost its hurry Couldn’t say enough [Chorus] Two halves becoming whole (whole) Hold me like you know Two halves becoming whole (whole) Let the world stay slow Sacred as a vow (vow) Right here, right now Two halves becoming whole (whole) We don’t need words now [Verse 2] The flowers opened Like they knew us Soft white petals in the rain Innocence came back Through the root and stem Like the earth forgot its pain Your forehead on mine And the silence Felt louder than a choir Even Father Time At the gate of us Stood still and lost his wire [Pre-Chorus] And the river slowed down At the edge of your touch The wind lost its hurry Couldn’t say enough [Chorus] Two halves becoming whole (whole) Hold me like you know Two halves becoming whole (whole) Let the world stay slow Sacred as a vow (vow) Right here, right now Two halves becoming whole (whole) We don’t need words now [Bridge] If the dark comes calling Let it find us like this Wrapped in the hush Of a holy kiss No clock can keep you No season can take What the forest already Knows we make [Chorus] Two halves becoming whole (whole) Hold me like you know Two halves becoming whole (whole) Let the world stay slow Sacred as a vow (vow) Right here, right now Two halves becoming whole (whole) We don’t need words now [Outro] Birds went still In the branches And the world held its breath3 pa
