Lyrics The River - Elli Ingram

The River

The sun flickers through and you’re still here
I can’t help but turn to face you
I run my fingers through your hair
You were only meant to stay tonight
I never once asked to meet your mother
I never even asked to be your bride
And now that we’re here, do you remember
You were never meant to stay the night
Swimming up stream to get you home
The water comes towards us, begging 'please don’t go'
If I drown will you come for me?
Throw me a ring, I can’t let go
I never once asked to meet your father
I never even asked to be your bride
And now that we’re here, do you remember
You were never meant to stay the night
You pulled me into this
The water’s deep, and I can’t swim
This love is happening
I can’t resist, you poison me with your kiss
Now my love is all for you
A love I never knew
