[Verse 1] I'll see you by the river Hear your voice drifting on the breeze watch the mist rise smell the damp air In the stillness of the morning It's almost like you're there dew on a spiders web glinting in the sun your shadow on the water momentarily........then it's gone [Pre-Chorus] Echoes in the reeds calling out your name the bank holds my steps but it's not the same [Chorus] By the river, by the river (by the river) I still hear us there By the river, by the river (the river) old voices in the air [Verse 2] The stones keep your footprints washed but not erased I look into the silence I can almost see your face Every swell flows inward every ripple bends memories we once shared come back again [Pre-Chorus] Echoes in the reeds calling out your name the bank holds my steps but it's not the same [Chorus] By the river, by the river (by the river) I still hear us there By the river, by the river (the river) old voices in the air [Bridge] If I stand here longer maybe you return in the mist, in the shimmer in the way the river twists and turns [Final Chorus] By the river, by the river (by the river) I still hear us there By the river, by the river (the river) old voices in the air By the river, by the river (by the river) I keep you there
