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
