The River
[Verse 1]
The sun flickers through and you're still here
I can't help but turn to face you
I run my fingers through your hair
You were only meant to stay tonight

[Chorus]
I never once asked to meet your mother
I never even asked to be your bride
And now that we're here, do you remember
You were never meant to stay the night

[Verse 2]
Swimming up stream to get you home
The water comes towards us, begging 'please don't go'
If I drown will you come for me?
Throw me a ring, I can't let go

[Chorus]
I never once asked to meet your father
I never even asked to be your bride
And now that we're here, do you remember
You were never meant to stay the night

[Outro]
You pulled me into this
The water's deep, and I can't swim
This love is happening
I can't resist, you poison me with your kiss
Now my love is all for you
A love I never knew
