about

This song was inspired by what I imagine is going through the Doctor's head during the pyramid rooftop scene in "The Wedding of River Song."

lyrics

I've never been too good with words or explaining what I mean
But you seem to have me figured out, so I'll smile and just breathe
I love how you can take control but still trust me with your life
I know it can't be perfect, but it's all almost right

But I know that you can't stay forever
And I'm finding out that when we're together
I'm loving you, trusting you
Though some instincts tell me not to
But then I'm swept away by the current of your river
I'm swept away by the current of your river
River

Standing on this rooftop with your hand so close to mine
I'm not used to telling secrets, when I've got one on my mind
Running shoes, a romantic view and of course an evening dress
You lean in for a kiss, your heartbeat on my chest

But I know that you can't stay forever
And I'm finding out that when we're together
I'm loving you, trusting you
Though I'm not accustomed to
But then I'm swept away by the current of your river
I'm swept away by the current of your river
River

And when you have to leave,
You can take this song with you
I'll slip it into your pocket for you to find
On some sad and lonely night
So you can think of me
Like I always think of you

But just send me a message and I'll come running to your side
Cause it feels like I've lived so long
But it's only when I'm with you I feel alive
I can see our future like a history book page
But we'll just take it night by night, and then day by day

Cause I know that you can't stay forever
And I'm finding out that when we're together
I'm loving you, trusting you
And I know you feel it too
But then I'm swept away by the current of your river
I'm swept away by the current of your river
River
