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 upon 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
