You heard the door slam, and walked away
She can be so cruel sometimes
For just a moment, you thought you heard her asking you to stay
But it was just the wind chime

Chorus
You need to find your way to the river
To let the water cool your brain
Then maybe you'll find the time to forgive her
And maybe she'll find the heart to do the same

It's been so long since things were good
You almost can't remember
But then again you can't forget the way she stood
On your front porch last September

Chorus
You need to find your way to the river
To let the water cool your brain
Then maybe you'll find the time to forgive her
And maybe she'll find the heart to do the same

Can't imagine Spring without those eyes
The way she sings those sad songs
She can make you feel like a fool when she doesn't even try
Sometimes she treats you so wrong

Chorus
You need to show her the way to the river
So you can wash away the pain
And tell her you found the heart to forgive her
Tell her you pray she'll ask you to stay
So you can wash the pain away
