River

River of diamonds,
Flow steady and true.
Flow from my heart
And into you.
Sapphire river,
Caressing your skin.
Deep inside,
Feel the fire begin.
This ruby river
Runs deep and swift.
Wade right in
And set adrift.
Sail away
On this emerald river,
Out of pain into love,
You'll be delivered.
River deep,
River wild,
Your heart is fragile,
The heart of a child.
Hold my hand,
We'll sail to the sea,
Together forever,
Just you and me.
