Invitation To A River

Two minds meet in a rush of confusion
Left naked and wanting
Two hearts meet and feel love for a moment
But never again
Two bodies meet and christen each other
Left tender and needing
We two met and such a love exists
But paint it sad
Stay, don’t you leave me
Don’t you care if I say that I need you?
Now that I’ve found you
Stay by my side
Don’t ever leave
Our love takes a path to the heavens
You the sun and I the moon
I need your warmth to survive
Your light to see
Your gravity keeps me close
While I circle your mind
And to get too close would be tragic
I would burn up in the closeness
Though I could not help myself
And you would destroy me
Though you could not help yourself
I would burn up in the closeness
Though I could not help myself
And you would destroy me
Though you could not help yourself
But paint it sad
What’s up now
I can’t be with you
What’s up now
I can’t live without you
River, I stand here beside you
Thoughts running through my mind
Rocks that are trying to guide you
Are just symbols of what I can’t find
Oh, river I hear you
I know you’re calling me near you
Into your pool of memories
Deep inside your reflection
I see faces of love I once knew
But now they’ve left me forever and ever
That’s why I come here to you
River I hear you
I know you’re calling me near you
Into your pool of fantasy
I said river your waters keep saying
I’ve got to leave all my troubles far behind
The answer it’s deep down inside you
Or just an answer you only could find
Oh, river I hear you
I know you’re calling me near you
Into your pool of destiny
I said river
I can hear what your waters are trying to say
There ain’t no way I’m gonna let my heart do
What you want me to do
Your whispering waters keep calling to me
I ain’t gonna listen no more
Now I look up from within you
Shadows of life pass me by
A cradle of silence surrounds me
Oh, just like a lost child I cry
I said river you’re laughing
Tell me why are you laughing
Oh, you’re laughing at me now
Oh, river
