Her, with her loving eyes
Her, with her open arms
shelter in the night
As we drift into sleep
soothing voice singing
River wide ocean deep

Her, with her vacant eyes
Her, with her withered arms
vague promise of rain
Overhead storm clouds creep
distant voice thundering
River wide ocean deep

Her, with her wild eyes
Her, with her clutching arms
tempest pouring down
flood no wall can keep
drowning voice crying
River wide ocean deep

I don't know what's happening
Excuse me, I'm babbling

The ties that bind are the ties we keep
And she cried river wide ocean deep
The ties that bind are the ties we keep
Until we sleep, until we sleep
