Her, with her loving eyes

Her, with her open arms

A shelter in the night

As we drift into sleep

A soothing voice singing

River wide ocean deep



Her, with her vacant eyes

Her, with her withered arms

A vague promise of rain

Overhead storm clouds creep

A distant voice thundering

River wide ocean deep



Her, with her wild eyes

Her, with her clutching arms

A tempest pouring down

A flood no wall can keep

A drowning voice crying

River wide ocean deep



The ties that bind are the ties we keep

And she cried river wide ocean deep

The ties that bind are the ties we keep

Until we sleep, until we sleep



[Music & Lyrics - Jim Matheos]
