By the River

By the river, through the summer I waited patiently You had promised with all your power To come and rescue me To come and set me free You were running through the valley Heading straight for me My mind was shaking but I was ready For you to rescue me For you to set me free I found a letter floating in a bottle Being washed away to the sea Penned by freedom, addressed to no one For who now could it be? I saw a vision, some kind of apparition But it felt so real, so free I heard a conversation, a faint deliberation For who now could it be? For anyone but me Something fell apart in me As I watched my soul depart from me Now I fade into eternity, I'm free Something fell apart in me As I watched my soul depart from me Now I fade into eternity, I'm free
