Red by the River This journey has brought her to me once again Driving the forests of Michigan The crisp blue of sky, leaves of orange and red Red as her lips and the hair on her head I pull to the roadside, and walk to the place My heart beats as warm as the blush on her face The day that I told her forever would be All that I wanted and all that I'd need By the crimson maple tree Deep as desire, she comes back to me I will always find her here Red by the river, I loved my dear Winter blew cold. The leaves turned to gray Gray as my face when she started to say Our love was a cancer, the terminal kind L'll swear to my grave I committed no crime By the crimson maple tree Deep as desire, she comes back to me I will always find her here Red by the river, I lost my dear The months turned to years in a castle of stone Finally the day came for me to go home To walk where the wind fills the trees like a sail And whispers her voice in my ear as I kneel By the crimson maple tree Deep as desire, she comes back to me I will always find her here Red by the river, I loved my dear Jordi G.
