[Verse 1] Hope for snow at a quiet dawn Frost on the window pane Branches cut into clear blue sky And the wind carries your name [Chorus 1] Run, river, run to the sea Water always wants to be free [Verse 2] Light a fire to keep the night at bay And the wolves from the door Watch those words rise with the smoke And shadows dance on the floor [Chorus 2] Run, river, run to the sea Water always wants to be free Run, river, run over me Water take away my memory Water take away my memory [Chorus 2] Run, river, run to the sea Water always wants to be free Run, river, run over me Water, take away my memory Water, take away my memory [Bridge] Water, take away my memory Water, take away my memory Water, take away my memory [Chorus 2] Run, river, run to the sea Water always wants to be free Run, river, run over me Water, take away my memory Water, take away my memory [Outro] Water, take away my memory
