about the time you carried me
In your body, safe and warm,
Then you cover life out of mud,
Oh, the tide took us out to sea
Stand on the banks of the rivers wide
Takes me home and keeps me warm
Your light's shining down bright every day
Gives me strength to go my own way
I know, I know, you feel a loss so strong
Stand on the banks, the river's wide
Takes me home and keeps me warm
On those long, lonely nights
Now there must come a time
When you can take all this weight
Cause you've been looking out
for everybody else so long
Ain't it about your turn to sing your song
Stand or faint, the river's wide
Take me home, keep me warm
On those long, lonely nights
