Saw you in the moss See the birds up above You stood up with a shout and said that it's time We ran through the oak hall woods See the shadows on the old car hoods Swinging on the old town telephone lines
Chorus: Oh my love I think that I could run forever Make you stay so true and not be lonely ever Now my world come right I will swim the river until my bones give up
Said when you were you born Your daddy took you home He whispered to the ground ever softly Left the shovel on the stone Left the Hill Alone Drove like the road was the only line to know
Chorus Oh my love I think that I could run forever We don't stand a chance so we will run the river I swore on your bed I will leave her never Until my bones give up
And the birds they land And I see both of you are there And we are walking And we are walking And as you turnaround I see your hands They look like mine And we are walking And we are walking back toward the hill
Oh my love I think that I could run forever We don't stand a chance so we will run the river Now my world come right I will never leave her until my bones give
Oh my love I think that I could run forever I don't like this(???) So we will run the river Now my world come right I will swim the river until my bones give up
