The River lyrics

It's the last glint of sunlight

Your thumbprint on my hand tight

And the waves whisper

For the sails to fall

And the sky floods

With lovers’ hues

And the moon rises

Fades into view

For the first kiss by the river’s edge

Take me beside the river

Lead us in

Lead us in

Stay ever wide, oh river

Lead us into you

So let the seas crash

And the oceans roar

Let the earth shake

And the great wind soar

I’ll be right here

By the river’s edge

Take me beside the river

Lead us in

Lead us in

Stay ever wide, oh river

Lead us into you

As the ships roll by

I can hear them whisper

From three hundred miles away

Take me beside the river

Lead us in

Lead us in

Stay ever wide, oh river

Lead us into you

Take me beside the river

Lead us in

Lead us in

Stay ever wide, oh river

Lead us into you

Lead us into you

Lead us in

Oh Shenandoah

I long to see you

And hear you rollin’ river

Oh Shenandoah

I long to see you

Away, I’m bound away

Across the wide Missouri
