Lyrics

I went walking up the river
On a beautiful day
That’s when your memory passed me
And decided to stay
Sure we’re born
And then we grow
Diving down to the bottom
And there we’ll know

I wish the water was deeper
I wish we had more time
So go and tell the reaper
That friend of mine
It’s not time for him to go yet
He needs to stay right here
Until the water gets deeper
Over many more years

God I wish I’d known
How you hurt so much
I hadn’t been around in awhile
I didn’t stay in touch
I’d like to imagine
I’d know what to say
But I never had expected
For you to leave that way

I wish the water was deeper
I wish we had more time
So go and tell the reaper
That friend of mine
It’s not time for him to go yet
He needs to stay right here
Until the water gets deeper
Over many more years
