[Verse 1]
Hope for snow at a quiet dawn
Frost on the window pane
Branches cut into clear blue sky
And the wind carries your name

[Chorus 1]
Run, river, run to the sea
Water always wants to be free

[Verse 2]
Light a fire to keep the night at bay
And the wolves from the door
Watch those words rise with the smoke
And shadows dance on the floor

[Chorus 2]
Run, river, run to the sea
Water always wants to be free
Run, river, run over me
Water take away my memory
Water take away my memory

[Chorus 2]
Run, river, run to the sea
Water always wants to be free
Run, river, run over me
Water, take away my memory
Water, take away my memory

[Bridge]
Water, take away my memory
Water, take away my memory
Water, take away my memory

[Chorus 2]
Run, river, run to the sea
Water always wants to be free
Run, river, run over me
Water, take away my memory
Water, take away my memory

[Outro]
Water, take away my memory
