Back To The River Lyrics - Weight Of The Globe - Lily & Madeleine

If only my feet could fall as fast as a heart does 

I would be so long gone 

But I'm stuck, stuck under your thumb 

I can't get up 

I can't get up, up I can't get up 

If only my eyes could see as high as a mountain 

Or wherever your heart's gone 

But I have fallen on the bank of this river 

I can't get up 

I can't get up, up I can't get up 

If only my heart could speak into this river 

And you'd drink me up 

I could be free of all these lonesome shivers 

I could give myself up (give myself up) 

We all go back to the river 

We will all come undone 

And there you will be, my love, with the faintest touch 

And I will give myself up 

Give myself up, up 

I will give myself up 

Give myself up, up 

I'll give myself up
