Down by the Riverside
Written April 16th 2005
Jade C Bell
it is said that all life and love starts
and ends in a single beat of the heart
clouds cluster in marbled cascades across the sky
did you hear the crashing of the thunder
after I saw the lightning in your eyes
down by the riverside
where you were smiling on the outside
but crying on the inside
down by the riverside
was it the darkness above in the skies
or the sweet bitterness that all love must die
a sheet of rain drops, pour over mountain tops
streams of dreams spread like gods fingers
bleeds down land, we take hands as blue eyed monsters
down by the riverside
where I was crying on the outside
but smiling on the inside
down by the riverside
feeling your insides, seeing the love through broken eyes
desires that just past bye, black fire lust to ask why
if all love is destine to die, were you even there
from the start to the end, was I merely the wind in your hair
if love is all we got, lets let our hair tangle and knot
down by the riverside
where we will smile a lot
inside and out
because there's nothing to cry about
down by the riverside
where lovers may collide
down by the riverside |
