I felt you coming my way before I knew who you wereLike the fog in my thoughts in a beautiful blurThere was a ripple in the air before you walked into the roomRight then I could tell that you'd been good since you came outta the wombCould I be your North Star?Or maybe a river running to your heart?My love is what the flood can't wash awayOne time I heard you cry out in the middle of the night'Cause you saw yourself in a dream and it was you but not quiteAnd there was something in the room and it was hovering aboveMaybe the ghost who used to haunt the house where you grew upSo let yourself cryLet the wild river rush from your green eyesOur love is what the tide can't wash awayCan't wash awayYeah, I knew that you were there before I knew you were aliveI could tell by the light in the sky before you walked up the driveThere was something in the air before you walked into the roomMade me know that you been good since you came outta the wombLet yourself sighBecause this has been such a long, hard timeShake off the shiverin'You're a shark that never stops swimmin'I'll be that dim North StarI'm a river running to your heartI'm a river running to your heartI'm a river running to your heartI'm a river running
