To The River

Lyrics: Katie Skene
Music: Katie Skene

Sung by Katie Skene with the David Nelson Band in February 2017 when Peter Rowan was sitting in for David.

The man I know has gone away
Foretelling tangled clouds from drops of rain
His blue eyes make the summer sky
Seem bleak ands pale and undermined

But he sure had a narrow mind
And a rambling devil god inside
I said, honey, where do you think you're going
He said, baby, I'll be following the south-east wind that's blowing

There's no getting over you
There'll be no forgetting you

With sleeping hands he grazed my skin
But you won't let me let you in
How do I lay it on so you'll agree
That you're the only one for me

There's no getting over you
Even if you tell me to

To the river I will toss my cares
Then shake that river from my hair
But only you can let the sun into the sky
And warm my body as I dry

There's no getting over you
There'll be no forgetting you

Take a breath and when you feel the need
And let it out when you're losing steam
But certain as the setting sun
You're on my mind when day is done

There's no getting over you
There'll be no forgetting you
Even if you tell me to
There's no getting over you
