Did you build a forgiver We were down by the river looking for stones I found a rock smoothed by water You found green quartz, then you took me home Now I know that was a perfect day Before the river came rushing in and washed you away And I was left drowning For years, for years Did you build a forgiver Yes father's leaving Yes mother's grieving They say that's how it goes But I know every day That you chose to stay away Grew harder like that stone Do you know who I am Do you know where I've gone What I've seen, who I've been lately Do you know what I want What I'm trying to do Every day how I fail on the daily Have you looked for me lately Does it wake you like it wakes me Would it be different if I was a son But I am the son and the daughter I am the father who taught her I am the stillness and I am the running river Look at my heart, look at my heart I am the running river Look at my heart, look at my heart I am the running river Won't you take me back Won't you take me back Won't you take me back Won't you take me back to the river To the river To the river It was the perfect day
