Lonely River

I wrote this one at a bit of a low point.  I felt I had no one to talk to.  Like I had been forsaken, even by god.  With no one left, I wrote the song to my only friends around....words.    I begin each verse with the word I'm addressing but I feel in the end it is just a prayer.

Forever,

Seems we’ve been here all along

I know you’ve been runnin’

beside me all these years

Now I’ve fallen

and you know how hard

I can be

but it’s left me here bleedin’

set me on my knees

Forgiveness,

when are you comin’ back to me

I gave you away freely

never to return

I’ve been dancin’ with sorrow

but I know there ain’t nothin’ she can do

On the banks of this river

I’m waiting for you

Caught in the fire and rain

am I keepin’ or quenchin’ this pain

I feel so

so alone  

Always been a penitent man

God help me

understand

Am I lyin’

Show me sign

Promise,

sing me a sweet lullaby

A tale of a new day

as darkness fills my eyes

I’ve been runnin’ from shadow

and you know just how cold

he can be

But if you keep me dreamin’

I know I am free

Tomorrow,

oh you’ve been comin’ for 

too long

See we’ve been fightin’

praying for the dawn

Oh, but I’ve seen you hidin’

 behind that smile in the night

Led me to this river

set me on my knees

Take me Lonely River

Take me back to Sea.
