River’s Bend
Nate Boots

Let’s meet tonight
At the river’s bend
Tho what you gonna want, girl…
No, I just can’t lend
Love’s an evercrooked thing
O the bridges I’ve burned
Tired of chalking up failure
As another lesson learned

It’s hard to feel
So unfulfilled
But you light my fire
And you always will
When I see your pretty face
I just want to kiss
Your hair, your eyes, your ears,
Your mouth: your cherry red lips

But the one you want
Don’t want you back
And the one wants you
You don’t need

We’ll try it anyway
Give it one last shot
At the river’s bend
I’ll give you all I got

You’re losing faith
I’m out of power
Try as we might
Feels doomed, somehow
When the tears stop falling
And the hurting ends
Please remember me, my love
At the river’s bend

Where the one you want…

Not like me to feel
I’m over it
Not like me to say…
I’m gone, I quit
No more, no more of this
We tried, we failed
We lost the grail
The coffin’s nailed
The ship’s set sail…

And the one you want…
