Far away You seem so far away Holding the hourglass And it's pouring out so fast Would you say After these years and all this pain That we could make a change And you could meet me halfway To lay it down right here Meet me at the river Where the water's clear Love can save us And love can free us And what we cannot forgive Love can So I will pray Sending my fragrance into the air Bitter and sweet perfume All of my life consumed To be good enough Is there a place where we'll see love For what it was meant to be Just a gift that's free To lay it down right here Meet me at the river Where the water's clear Love will catch us when we fall And love will hear our faintest call And dry these tears that stain my face And lead us to a peaceful place
