Wait By The River

[Verse 1] I will wait by the river In the light of the moon At the edge of the city I will wait for you Though I can't wait forever Someday I'll be dead and gone And I won't be forgiven For what I've done [Hook] I will wait by the river I will wait by the river I will wait by the river I will wait by the river [Verse 2] I will cry out to heaven As it rains down on me I will beg for forgiveness Get down on my knees If I can't change the weather Maybe I can change your mind If we can't be together What's the point of life [Bridge] Baby, I didn't mean the things I said I don't honestly wish you were dead I'm a fool; I'm just a man If I only could hold you again [Verse 3] And the stars fill the river As it flows into the sky And the mind leaves the body And floats higher and higher If we can't be together I will leave this world behind If I can't touch your body Can I touch the sky? [Hook] I will wait by the river I will wait by the river I will wait by the river I will wait by the river
