Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You were a song in the heather

You were the sun on the dew

Laugh in the lane

Hand in my sweater

World growing gentle and new

We carved our names in an ash tree

Swore we'd go wandering far

Kept all our hopes in a tin box

Counting on one bright star

[Chorus]

Like a stone in the river

Love was worn

Love was changed

You were here

Then you drifted

All our plans rearranged

Now the water runs clearer

Round the shape where you once lay

I have sorrow

I have silver

I have peace in me today

[Verse 2]

Years like a wind through the barley

Blew all the gold from our hair

You took a boat in the morning

Left just your coat on the chair

Letters grew thin as the moonlight

Ink turned to quiet and dust

I learned the weight of an evening

Pouring one glass

For one cup

[Chorus]

Like a stone in the river

Love was worn

Love was changed

You were here

Then you drifted

All our plans rearranged

Now the water runs clearer

Round the shape where you once lay

I have sorrow

I have silver

I have peace in me today

[Bridge]

I walk the road by the shoreline (oh)

Where we once danced in the rain

I bless your name with a soft smile

Not with the old

Aching pain

Time is a long

Steady breathing

Waves on an old broken pier

I let you go with a whisper

Thankful you once were here

[Chorus]

Like a stone in the river

Love was worn

Love was changed

You were here

Then you drifted

Still I rise

Still I remain

Now the water runs clearer

Round the shape where you once lay

I have sorrow

I have silver

I have peace in me today

[Outro]

So I’ll sing low in the heather

For the girl I used to be

Love found

Love lost

Love forgiven

All of it setting me free
