Lyrics

Love Song To Be Sung At The River
———————————–

I want to wrap myself around you
Like a peel around its fruit
Like the river ’round these boulders
Like a wet sock ’round my foot

I want to disappear inside you
Like a hotdog in a bun
As salt dissolves in water
As snow melts in the sun

Ooh

I want to join you when you’re dancing
Like a cop catches a thief
As the salmon swims upriver
As the wind lifts up a leaf

Ooh
