Take me down to the river

Song from the debut album "Woke up to a life I'm spending" available on iTunes. Performed live at John Ball Park in Grand Rapids Michigan 6/20/2009 by Ben Walter w/ Notes 2 Myself. www.thebenwalter.com

Lyrics:

Love don't come knocking round my door this time
Well I've had your kind of company before
And it hurts my mind
To think of all that you have left behind for me
All those nights of misery
And the days of sleepless energy

Take me down to the river,
Take me down to the shoreline
Tell me that you love me
But you're gonna leave me

Wishing through all the years
That oh, my heart would go blind
You alone have tasted all the happiness
My lips could find, for you
We could sit alone in silence,
And never stop the tune
And your eyes, would always calm me
In a crowded room

You alone have given those ahead
A bumpy trail to ride
Calling out the reasons
Gives them no room to hide, from you
I have grown softer and more lenient in my life
But still to close the deal with love
You've gotta stop those bitter empty lies.
