Down By the Blue Shade Rivers

Lyrics...I can imagine this being a country or folk song.

Verse 1:

Crying your blue shade rivers

Each precious tear collected in my bowl

Love, look up at me

I will never leave thee

 

Refrain:

Though your heart is filled with guilt,

Though life’s scars lay on your hands,

My love for you will never diminish its glow

I will never, never let you go…

 

Verse 2:

You collapse to the floor, saying:

“Not me! I am unworthy!”

But my precious love, don’t you see?

My spilt blood covers all of thee

 

(repeat refrain)

 

Bridge:

Through life’s struggles,

I will be your Rock

Saving you from

The demons that mock

 

Though your eyes cry,

I will wipe them away

Crying with you along,

I will hold you everyday

 

(repeat refrain)

 

Verse 3:

 

Lift up your eyes, my child!

Let me see your face!

Be still, and listen to my voice

So that I, to you, can forever embrace

 

(repeat refrain)
