back to the river

i can recall my name - but it was not the same, i fear i'd gone astray - i've almost gone insane, sometimes i still can hear - echoes of silent fears, but on that winter's day - you swept them all away, these were the times when i longed for the river, and i closed my eyes and you laid your hands down on me, not just a burning sin - a candle in the wind, it was so much more - i want to thank you for, i can see you, still my friend, still so deep inside of me, you filled my void, you let me fly, you broke my chains, you showed me life, you set me up, you made me true, i was back at the river with you
