Fruit Bats - Rushin' River Valley lyrics

I felt you coming my way before
I knew who you were
Like the fog in my thoughts
In a beautiful blur
There was a ripple in the air
Before you walked into the room
Right then I could tell that you’d been
Good since you came outta the womb

Could I be your North Star?
Or maybe a river running to your heart?
My love is what the flood can’t wash away

One time I heard you cry out
In the middle of the night
’cause you saw yourself in a dream and
It was you but not quite
And there was something in the room
And it was hovering above
Maybe the ghost who used to haunt
The house where you grew up

So let yourself cry
Let the wild river rush from your green eyes
Our love is what the tide can’t wash away

Yeah I knew that you were there
Before I knew you were alive
I could tell by the light in the
Sky before you walked up the drive
There was something in the air before
You walked into the room
Made me know that you been good
Since you came outta the womb

Let yourself sigh
Because this has been such a long, hard time
Shake off the shiverin’
You’re a shark that never stops swimmin’
I’ll be that dim North Star
I’m a river running to your heart
