Lyrics The River - Matt Alber

With the last glint
Of sunlight,
Your thumbprint
On my hand tight.
And the waves whisper
For the sails to fall.
Aye, aye.

And the sky floods
With lovers' hues,
And the moon rises,
Fades into view
For the first kiss by the river's edge.
Aye, aye.

Take me beside the river.
Lead us in.
Lead us in.
Stay ever wide, O river
Lead us into you.

So let the seas crash
And the oceans roar.
Let the earth shake

And the great wind soar.
I'll be right here
By the river's edge.
Aye, aye.

As the ships roll by
I can hear them whisper
From three hundred miles
Away.

O Shenandoah,
I long to see you
And hear you, rollin' river.
O Shenandoah,
I long to see you.
Away, I'm bound away
Across the wide Missouri.
