[Verse] The willow leans where the river bends Shadows stretch And the day descends A breeze carries whispers Soft and thin Of summers lost Where we’d begin A laugh on the water A stone in the hand Skipping circles Where dreams would land [Chorus] Down by the riverbend We’d stay Time was a thief But we’d slip away The world was wide But the bank was small That little corner It held it all [Verse 2] Barefoot paths in the amber light Fields of gold swallowed up the night Your voice was a lantern Steady and bright Guiding me home Till the stars took flight We etched our names on the cedar tree Promises made to eternity [Prechorus] But seasons turn And roots grow deep The river runs But memories keep [Chorus] Down by the riverbend We’d stay Time was a thief But we’d slip away The world was wide But the bank was small That little corner It held it all [Bridge] Now the river’s voice is low and slow It hums of places we’ll never go The willow still leans But its shade has thinned The echoes fade where the stories begin
