As If Only

The Common Linnets

Carry me down to the river and heal me tonight
Wash away all of the wrong and leave only the right
Mirror of moonlight reflecting the innocent stars
Drown every sorrow and fear that has kept us apart

As if there was time
As if we were free

I hear a sound of the river, it rings in my ear
Echoing whispers of love that was lost to the years
Drawing us back to a truth too deep to deny
Carry me down to that river and heal me tonight

As if there was time
As if we where free
As if only there was only you and me

Through open fields we'll find the shore
And I'll leave my heart open
Carry me down, carry me down, carry me down
To where I've been and was before
To when my heart was open
So carry me down, carry me down, carry me down

I'll let the river deliver me back to the sea
Surrender myself to a love that is greater than me

As if there was time
As if we where free
As if only there was only you and me
