The river took Emily and took me down too
I was just hoping that something was new
You burn like a fire, you yearn for the Sun
You turn like a river and that’s how you run

Danny was following lugging his load
You were home praying that he wouldn’t fold
I was just hoping that nothing had died
We all wanna dance but we’re still trying to hide

Wandering, Stumbling, fumbling fools
Green and Blue nothing until your love rules
Sing with the angels your brother’s will too
Praise like a child with nothing better to do

Some will say Jesus is waiting up there
I would say Jesus is sitting downstairs
Raising a glass to a hard day’s work done
Toasting us all for the things he has won

I want to kiss the wind. I want to kiss the sand at my feet. I want to kiss the seals I hear. I want to kiss the water. I want to kiss the boat that floats with little lights to somewhere I don’t know. I want to kiss your thoughts. I want to kiss your secrets. I want to kiss those mountains. I want to kiss the sinking sun. I want to kiss all that is undone. I want to kiss this night’s sky with her kaleidoscope songs.
