Daniel Rossen - You're Crossing a River lyrics

You're crossing a river To put it between us White in the night Everyone sees it Even my mother She asks after you And I'm your defender My sword and my shield Laid at your feet 'Cause you're only trying With every waking breath To do all you can do With all that you have left And delicate angels whisper their secrets loud as a gun And beautiful strangers who live in their j**elry Dying for love I wish you could meet them in all of their glory I know then you'd see That they're only trying With every waking breath To do all they can do With all that they have left You're crossing a river To put it between us White in the night And all that I can do Is go to the water And hold up a light I know that you're thinking with every backstroke Why? But I'm only trying With every waking breath To do all I can do With all that I have left
