[Verse 1]
She's got a way with the morning light,
A touch like rain on a summer night.
Her laugh could mend a broken heart,
But love with her was doomed from the start.
[Chorus]
She's the one woman I want to keep,
But like the river, she's wild and deep.
She won't stay, no, she won't land,
The one woman I want to keep but can't.
[Verse 2]
I built a house with my two hands,
Dreamed she'd come and understand.
But her soul’s a bird, it longs to fly,
And I’m just the ground she leaves behind.
[Prechorus]
I tried to hold her, tried to stay,
But her heart keeps drifting away.
[Chorus]
She's the one woman I want to keep,
But like the river, she's wild and deep.
She won't stay, no, she won't land,
The one woman I want to keep but can't.
[Bridge]
I’ve seen her smile fade with the dusk,
Her words like whispers, soft but tough.
She’s the wind, she’s the sea,
And I’m just the shore she’ll never need.
