Lyrics Little River Girl - Jono McCleery

Little River Girl

I will open doors for you
I will stand aside and let you move
I won’t even cry 'til you do
I feel it in my soul today
Knowing you are here to stay
I hear it when I breathe
I’m in tune with the way you feel
All I ever learn in time
Is to see you through my childhood eyes
Standing with the sun saying:
Darling won’t you come inside?
You are in the way it flows
You’re Sobek’s little river girl
Head out of your hatch
Waiting for the season’s turn
The sun has almost gone away
Feels as though it’s time to pray
It’s showing us to look beyond;
Settle down and reason with the rain
And all you ever learn in time
Is to see me through your childhood eyes
Standing with the sun saying:
Darling won’t you come outside?
