I can recall my name; but I was not the same. I fear I'd gone astray; I've almost gone insane. Sometimes I still can hear; echoes of silent fears. But on that winter's day, you swept them all away. These were the times when I longed for the river. And I closed my eyes and you laid your hands down on me. Not just a burning sin; a candle in the wind. It was so much more, I want to thank you for. These were the times when I longed for the river. And I closed my eyes and you laid your hands down on me. I can see you, still my friend. Still so deep inside of me. These were the times when I longed for the river. And I closed my eyes and you laid your hands down on me. You filled my void, you let me fly; You broke my chains, you showed me life. You set me up, you made me true. I was back at the river with you.
