Lyrics Wait by the River - Lord Huron

Wait by the River

I will wait by the river in the light of the moon
At the edge of the city, I will wait for you
Though I can’t wait forever, someday I’ll be dead and gone
And I won’t be forgiven for what I’ve done
I will wait by the river
I will wait by the river
I will wait by the river
I will wait by the river
I will cry out to heaven as it rains down on me
I will beg for forgiveness, get down on my knees
If I can’t change the weather, maybe I can change your mind
If we can’t be together, what’s the point of life?
Baby, I didn’t mean the things I said
I don’t honestly wish you were dead
I’m a fool, I’m just a man
If I only could hold you again
And the stars fill the river as it flows into the sky
And the mind leaves the body and floats higher and higher
If we can’t be together, I will leave this world behind
If I can’t touch your body, can I touch the sky?
I will wait by the river
I will wait by the river
I will wait by the river
I will wait by the river
