River Rise

You go to sleep I'll stay up Watching the fire 'Til the sun comes up 'Til the river rises I don't want to lie I can't see you In my life You want to sleep Right through the storm Great waves crashing over us 'Til I can't see my left from my right 'Til all the worries Are drowned in the night Oh, sailor Bring me your cards Keep me on the docks Fighting in the yards Hold me steady when I need Cut me loose when it's right You are but a shadow Of the love I had in mind I know now it wasn't meant to be You're a wave crashing on shore I know you never want to be alone How can you see all the stars through all of the smoke? How can you see all the stars?
