Walking by the River

Walking by the river where the waters run slow

Got my heart so heavy and my head hung low

The wind keeps whispering stories untold

I feel like I'm chasing fools' gold

I got holes in my shoes from a broken path

Every turn I take just rolls back to my past

The sky might weep but it won't cry for me

A shadow in the night just trying to break free

Oh

This weight won't let me fly

Dragging my soul beneath the sky

But I'll keep moving to my own tune

Wiping my tears under a silver moon

These chords of pain cut deep

My friend

An aching melody that never seems to end

But every step I take

I claim my own

I'm carving out a world where I ain't alone

Streetlights flicker like a faded dream

Life ain't as simple as it seems

But my guitar hums and it leads me on

Playing songs for a morning that ain't yet come

Oh

This weight won't let me fly

Dragging my soul beneath the sky

But I'll keep moving to my own tune

Wiping my tears under a silver moon
