Wait By the River

From Anne’s album Bittersweet Street

What can I do, if you
No longer like songs about love
push and shove
my way to your heart again
What can I say, anyway
To make you turn ‘round and see, me
Standing where the river bends

I will wait by the river
I will wait ‘til sunset
And when the moon rises over the river
By it’s light I will wait yet

Look at the sky and try
to see it like it was new
so blue
but truly just a trick of light
If you take my hand, you can
Remember how it once felt, and melt
back home to where this all began

I will wait by the river
I will wait ‘til sunset
And when the moon rises over the river
By it’s light I will wait yet

because it isn’t quite twilight
there’s still time to find
a little break in the waters
and leave the trouble behind
