Moonchild River Song

Take me quiet like a river
Like the silver strings that sing for you
Love will make it better
And I'm sorry that you saw me blue
I'll tell you of a sunrise
On a Texas plain so long ago
I looked into your sad eyes
And I couldn't say I loved you so

But I love you like the mountains
I love you like the sea
I love you like this highway
That always comes for me
I love you like the forest
The quiet of the trees
I love you darling like a river now that runs deep in me

Oh lonesome in a valley
Long ago you said you had a home
Your lover he went his way now
Love has finally come and gone
But love must find the answer
In the good book that's what I read
Soon the moon will rise in cancer
So stay and gently make my bed

For I love you like the mountains
I love you like the sea
I love you like this highway
That always comes for me
I love you like the ocean
The quiet of the breeze
I love you darling like a river now that runs deep in me

After we have waited
And that old highway won't steal my song
Together we'll lie naked
Together we will catch the dawn
You will see my devils
I will see your darkness too
And when the light has settled
I will sing this song to you

For I love you like the mountains
I love you like the sea
I love you like this highway
That always comes for me
I love you like the forest
The quiet of the trees
I love you darling like a river song that runs deep in me
