Soul River
The River That Is Your Soul
You're going away,
How still you lay,
All alone,
By the phone,
Next to the bed,
Where you lay your head,
And close your eyes,
So not to cry,
So here you hide,
On the inside,
You won't let me in,
Afraid my sins,
Will stain,
With pain,
Slay your broken heart,
And part,
The river that is your soul.
I know that you've been hurt real bad,
I know that one has made you sad,
These wounds I can mend,
You heart I can tend,
If you'll give me a chance,
Not a second glance,
Into the past,
That was last,
Leave it behind,
Pay no mind,
Please don't leave,
You know I'll greive,
Like you did before,
So let your heart soar,
Tell me that it's me you need,
Open you heart and let me feed,
The river that is your soul.
You've said you'll stay,
How different you lay,
On your face a bright red smile,
That'll stay there for quite a while,
I'll keep you safe and keep you near,
Never give you a frown or a sneer,
For you I'll always take a stand,
Always lend a helpful hand,
For you I'll give a foot and arm,
Just to keep you away from harm,
You who is alway caring and kind,
You with the strong and witty mind,
Touching hearts of every race,
With charm and grace and a beautiful face,
So now you can rest asure,
That I shall keep clean and pure,
The river that is your soul.
