Where the River Bends

كلمات الأغنية

[Verse 1] Pine needles gather by the cabin door Rain leaves silver beads along the floor You point where a fox crossed through the fern A small red question with no need to learn [Pre-Chorus] You take my hand beneath the cedar boughs The whole hillside seems to breathe around us now [Chorus] Stay with me where the river bends Where the cold water turns and begins again Let the morning find us unafraid With the scent of soil and the marks we made Stay with me till the birds grow still Past the blackberry fence and the sleeping hill Nothing grand, nothing we have to prove Just the wide green world and the way we move [Verse 2] Moss climbs slowly up the fallen pine Sun warms the stones one at a time You tuck a yellow leaf inside your coat Like a little map to keep us close [Pre-Chorus] Clouds break open over the meadow grass For one clear minute, everything can last [Chorus] Stay with me where the river bends Where the cold water turns and begins again Let the morning find us unafraid With the scent of soil and the marks we made Stay with me till the birds grow still Past the blackberry fence and the sleeping hill Nothing grand, nothing we have to prove Just the wide green world and the way we move [Bridge] If winter comes, we’ll stack the wood If summer fades, we’ll say it was good And when the first green shoots appear I’ll know exactly why you’re here [Final Chorus] Stay with me where the river bends Where the cold water turns and begins again Let the morning find us unafraid With the scent of soil and the marks we made Stay with me till the birds grow still Past the blackberry fence and the sleeping hill Nothing grand, nothing we have to prove Just the wide green world and the way we move [Outro] By the cabin door, the rain dries clear You lean close, and the woods disappear
