F
I knew when I cradled you
Em G
That you were gonna shine
F
As your hand held so tightly
Em G
Forever I thought onto mine
F
When you'd cry I'd wrap you in a blanket
Em G
And sing you my songs
F
All I knew to right the wrongs
Em E
As we held onto love
Eb
As we held onto love

F
I descended into hell
Em G
When I lost your smile
F
But I was always there
Em G
Even in exile
F
In the cadence of the wind
Em G
Its throat in your strings
F
Its lungs upon your tongue
Em G
Rivers of us join and run
Eb
They join and run
[Chorus]
Em G Am F
