Close, to hear your whispers
Relax upon your scent
Breath of reassurance
My river is content

Wanna bathe under your sun,
Dance in the rays of your light,
I wanna sleep beneath your moon, and
Dream into your night

I wanna wake up in your dawn,
Walk on every trail
Join you in your darkness,
When earth, the stars, and moon prevail

Singing to your music,
Beating to your heart,
Speaking the same language,
Wade into your deepest part

Moving with your rhythm
Past emerald velvet banks
Reminders of rough waters
All the tests of strength

Folks say, they are afraid of you
There will be another flood
Yet, next to you, I want to be
Connected to your good

Someday, I’ll have that cottage
Long ago, I made a pledge
Keep breathing in the thought of it,
A cottage on my river’s edge
