Lyrics

Morning light across the water
Slowly washing yesterday away
Every shadow growing softer
As the silence teaches me to stay

Empty roads and open skies now
Breathing in the colors of the dawn
Nothing left to hold me down here
Only traces of the night are gone

And I can feel it moving
Like a whisper in the wind
Every step I’m taking
Brings me back again

Take me where the river runs
Beyond the echoes, beyond the sun
Where every broken piece becomes
Part of something beautiful

Carry me into the blue
Where all the dreams we lost come through
I’ll follow every shade of you
Where the river runs

Golden memories surrounding
Falling softly like the summer rain
Every heartbeat keeps repeating
Nothing beautiful is ever strange

And I can hear it calling
Like a rhythm underneath
Something keeps reminding
There’s more than what we see

Take me where the river runs
Beyond the echoes, beyond the sun
Where every broken piece becomes
Part of something beautiful

Carry me into the blue
Where all the dreams we lost come through
I’ll follow every shade of you
Where the river runs

Slow motion, endless horizon
Lost in the colors we become
No words needed, only feeling
Two souls moving as one

Take me where the river runs
Beyond the echoes, beyond the sun
I’ll follow every shade of you
Where the river runs
