Red By The River Lyrics - Qanda

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
