Across The Street

I go to meet you inside a
River flowing
Close the distance as I
Walk to you slowly
Every night, before I reach you
The water sweeps the ground from
Underneath my feet
I found a crossword between your
Dog-eared pages
I spoke your name in church
I've been going through stages
Take me back to rainy Sundays
Down the lough shore
Down your house across the street
You couldn't stay here, you don't belong
But can I sing you one more song
Before you go
Give me a reason
Don't tell me the truth
If you could see the mess you left behind
I think you'd need one too
And I can't claim belief in a
God above you, but
If you can hear me, please just
Know how much I loved you
Did it hurt
Were you scared
I'm right here
I'm right here with you
Yeah, I'm right here with you
You know I feel you all the time
You couldn't stay here, you don't belong
But can I sing you one more song
Before you go
Give me a reason
Don't tell me the truth
If you could see the mess you left behind
I think you'd need
You couldn't stay here, you don't belong
But can I sing you one more song
Before you go
Give me a reason
Don't tell me the truth
If you could see the mess you left behind
I think you'd need one too
