Let The River Flow

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I still set the plate At the corner of the table Like you might walk in late And laugh at me for waiting Your boots by the door Still carry dust from Sunday I can’t move them anymore So I let them stay [Pre-Chorus] And I talk to the air Like you’re standing there With your hand in mine Like you never left this side [Chorus] Let the river flow Take what I can’t hold (hold, hold) Let it carry you home And leave me here with the cold Let the river flow Down this broken road (flow, flow) If I can’t let you go Let the river flow [Verse 2] Your sweater on the chair Still smells like clean rain and cedar I fold it slow and careful Like it knows your shape The house feels too large Since your voice stopped calling my name Every room says you were here Then turns its face away [Pre-Chorus] And I stand in the quiet Where your words used to rise Like a lantern glow On the edge of my eyes [Chorus] Let the river flow Take what I can’t hold (hold, hold) Let it carry you home And leave me here with the cold Let the river flow Down this broken road (flow, flow) If I can’t let you go Let the river flow [Bridge] If love is a stone I’ve been carrying too long My arms are shaking now My heart is worn and torn So I’ll lay it down On the bank beside the dawn And watch the water take What I cannot mourn [Final Chorus] Let the river flow Take what I can’t hold (hold, hold) Let it carry you home And leave me here with the cold Let the river flow Down this broken road (flow, flow) If I can’t let you go Let the river flow
