RIVER IN SPRING

I am a tree
A willow
A distance from the shore
Here alone
I'll wither
If I don't get a little more water

Then you come along and you are

The river in Spring ... rising ... 
Growing, flowing and I'm waiting on the hundred year flood
Knowing you is love sweet love 

My roots run both deep and
Shallow
They hold me to this ground
Under your touch
The earth softens
Allowing you to slip on down and 

Wash me in the water of

The river in Spring ... rising ...
Growing, flowing and I'm waiting on the hundred year flood
Knowing you is love sweet love 

You're nothing like the rain
Falling from the sky
Drizzles all around
But doesn't satisfy
When you're around you surround me and 
Seep right in
So I can
Begin
Again

I guess I am damned 
By a dam up on the branch I'm on the bank of
But I will not fear hoping you'll draw near and
Wash away my waiting without warning

For you are the water of

The river in Spring ... over your banks as the snow melts
Growing, flowing and I'm waiting on the hundred year flood
Knowing you is love sweet love
