[Verse 1]
I saw you wade across the river, winter coat across your shoulders
Callin' out, what did you say?
If I wade across the water, when I rise will you be there
Open-armed or turned the other way?

[Verse 2]
I saw you wade across the river, handkerchief in your fingers
Just in case, well, just in case
If I lose to the water, lose it all for you lover
You were all I wanted anyway
