down by the river scorned by the winter i fell to the dust when all through the meadow a lullaby echoed and swept through the earth i wonder if this sweet sparrow s song will carry me to you no one could know all that i hold of you a blanket of black came down and swallowed the light around your hand in mine and although the night has veiled the sun i ll never run from you i wonder if my heart empties will you still see it s for you no one could know all of you and when my heart fell below the sea the waters rose and you reached for me there the ground s neath my feet and oh i won t let go of you no one could know all that i hold of you  you oh storms come and go and all that i ll hold is you
