River Lyrics - Carpenter Mary-chapin

River full of stones when there's no rain 

River full and rushing when the clouds let loose again 

River every season like a prayer 

We're standing in the shallows making crosses in the air 

Chorus: 

Want to build the strongest bridge 

Want to love you the best I can 

Feel no fear upon the edge 

Here's my heart, baby take my hand 

River like a poem to the trees 

River telling stories to the rushes and the leaves 

River every season like a vow 

We're standing in the shallows wondering who will save us 

Want to build the strongest bridge 

Want to love you the best I can 

Feel no fear upon the edge 

Here's my heart, baby take my hand 

Instrumental Chorus 

River from the currents to the pools 

River turning kinder turning suddenly too cruel 

River every season like a dream 

We're standing in the shallows wading in to wash us clean 

Want to build the strongest bridge 

Want to love you the best I can 

Feel no fear upon the edge 

Here's my heart, baby take my hand 

Want to build the strongest bridge 

Want to love you the best I can 

Feel no fear upon the edge 

Here's my heart, baby take my hand 

Want to hold you close to me, never fail you, never falter 

Seeing all that love can see, 

reflecting on the water...
