Testo River Like You

I've loved a river like you before
I'm the one to blame
He washed away my cleverness
And hallowed out my name
I've loved a river like you before
The deep and thundering kind
He rushed into my belly and
Clouded over my eyes
If you wanted to be happy, which I somehow doubt
I could swallow your river if you opened your mouth

I've loved a river like you before
You can't scare me away
I've tamed the moss up on the rocks
And molded the red clay

If you wanted to be happy, which would be a surprise
I could swallow your sorrow if you opened your eyes

I've loved a river like you before
I'm a river too
So you can run into me And I'll run into you

If you wanted to be happy, which I somehow doubt
I could swallow your river if you opened your mouth

I've loved a river like you before
If only I were wise
I never learned to turn and run
When I saw the water rise
