lyrics

It’s a symbol that you run to
A symbol that you’re seeking
A simple kind of love child
it’s gonna take some bleeding

Take a walk along the river
Bear witness to the season
You ain’t ever found the giver
well now you’ve got a reason

I ain’t wandering through your valley
I ain’t sleeping on your shore
I ain’t begging for forgiveness
I ain’t begging anymore

No more picking apart the old days
They ain’t with you anymore
It’s time to find some new ways
To feel cared for
You got mountains all around you
Still you’re feeling so alone
Would you know it if found you
Would you know when you were home

I ain’t wandering through your valley
I ain’t sleeping on your shore
I ain’t wandering through the darkness
I ain’t wandering anymore

Lord rain down the flood
I saw your shadow side when I was on the run
Brother teach me the song
The one we used to sing
Right into the sun

Would you know when to stop asking
When you’ve been given what you’ve earned
After all your dreams are spoken
After all your ashes burn
Still think that you’re the only one
That’s worth fighting for
Could you make a love not clutched at
But lived for

It’s a symbol that you run to
A symbol that you’re seeking
A simple kind of love child
But it’s gonna take some bleeding
Take a walk along the river
Bear witness to the season
You ain’t ever found the giver
well now you’ve got a reason

I ain’t wandering through your valley
I ain’t sleeping on your shore
I ain’t begging for forgiveness
I ain’t begging anymore
I ain’t wandering through your valley
I ain’t sleeping on your shore
I ain’t wandering through the darkness
I ain’t wandering anymore
