[Verse 1]
Oh river, come and carry me
Till I return to whiskey bone and stone
Brave winged spirit, guide us home

[Chorus]
Don't slip away, stray with me
Forever like sand on the ocean
Don't slip away

[Verse 2]
Only wild open plains
A barren sky, circling birds of grace
The wind groans, whistling his shame

[Chorus]
Don't slip away, stray with me
Forever like sand on the ocean
Don't slip away
