Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
Across that river
Thru the orange squares of light
Past the streetlamps
Like a beacon in the rain
You've stopped in all this motion
You're heavy with news too sudden
You're breathing through this undertow of pain
And all your friends will gather soon and you'll
Surface then to bring them through, you'll say,
It's better this way, and at least we knew
But this practice in leaving,
All these small moves to grieving,
Does it ever really promise what's deserved?
Cuz you wanna take him in your arms
And carry to the river
Find the boy he once was
And row him home
You want a majesty restored
Find the place where love was born
And let him go
And let him go
Let him go
same as verse 1):
Many Sundays pass since the day of his first leaving
And you've stopped asking for the role to be reversed
With the grace that follows those who know what love is
You held his hand and walked towards this strange rebirth
And as the friends gather round to bear witness
You struggle with the fight to find some peace, to make it worth it
Cuz you wanna take him in your arms
And carry to the river
Find the boy he once was
And row him home
You want a majesty restored
Find the place where love was born
And let him go
And let him gooooo (hoooooome)
You wanna take him in your arms
And carry to the river
Find the boy he once was
And row him home
You want a majesty restored
Find the place where lo-ooooove....
Hoooooooooome....yeah
Oooh hooooo
Yeah
