Angela Evans - The River lyrics

When they met at the river, he could see her standing there* She wore a dress made of linen and a flower in her hair And they stayed for a while, making drawings in the sand And they knelt by the river where the water meets the land Ten years pa**ed, he came to her A nervous tone, she'd never heard With trembling hands, gave her a note In boyish words, he wrote If I go to the river, will I see you standing there In a dress made of linen, and a flower in your hair Will you stay for a while, making drawings in the sand So she went to the river, and she saw him standing there In a suit from his father, and a flower for her hair He pulled a ring from his pocket as he gently took her hand And he knelt by the river, where the water meets the land A lifetime pa**ed, a fairy tale Three children grown, their love prevailed Until the day, he knelt alone And traced the words, upon her stone If you go the river, you will see me standing there I'll wear a dress made of linen and a flower in my hair You will find me forever, in our drawings in the sand I will wait by the river, where the water meets the land
