Below, you will find the lyrics for Wait by the River by Lord Huron.
Verse 1
I will wait by the river
In the light of the moon
At the edge of the city
I will wait for you
Though i can't wait forever
Someday i'll be dead and gone
And i won't be forgiven
For what i've done
I will wait by the river
I will wait by the river
I will wait by the river
Verse 2
I will cry out to heaven
As it rains down on me
I will beg for forgiveness
Get down on my knees
If i can't change the weather
Maybe i can change your mind
If we can't be together
What's the point of life
Bridge
Baby, i didn't mean the things i said
I don't honestly wish you were dead
I'm a fool; i'm just a man
If i only could hold you again
Verse 3
And the stars fill the river
As it flows into the sky
And the mind leaves the body
And floats higher and higher
If we can't be together
I will leave this world behind
If i can't touch your body
Can i touch the sky?
I will wait by the river
I will wait by the river
I will wait by the river
