Lyrics Paul Oakley

Paul Oakley

Kiss The River

I still remember, falling to the floor and

Now I, often wonder how I ever dared to let you come

Even closer, closer than the air around me

Underneath my skin

And I remember sitting down beside the river

The water moving, heaving like a living breathing thing

Moving closer, I was strangely drawn and then I

Heard you call my name

And now I'm drowning, drowning in your life

Somehow I'm living, I'm living just to die

Just like the river, rolls into the sea

So I surrender to the sweetest love, rolling over me

It's funny how the memory can fade, but then I'm

Still reminded, when I smell the rain and I feel

Moved to kneel and live it all again

And I try to kiss the river

And now I'm dying, just to live again

And I am longing, waiting 'til the rain

Becomes a river, swelling like a flood

So I can dive into the sweetest love...

Until I'm drowning, drowning in your life

Until I'm living, I'm living just to die

Just like the river, rolls into the sea

So I surrender to the sweetest love, rolling over me
