Ted's River Song

(Lyrics, Music: Peterson, Triano)
You, when I close my eyes, open my eyes, realize, I think I would oblige
and if I tied my tongue together, smelled a rose and fell right on my
nose
Would it be the same, should I know your name
Could you stay for just a while?
You, when I float downstream, buy the dream and touch the stream, I
think it would redeem
and if we drift away together filled our souls and lost all we control
Would it disagree, should I wish to be?
Could you guarantee a while
(Refrain)
And help me down from this rope I'm walking
such a long, long way to fall
and if I see the edge of the morning
I got no expectations at all
so dance with me tonight
Look at the sky, don't lie, just, just tell me now if I should say
goodbye
Fortunate child, so wild, like the river washes sinners reconciled
Would it fall apart, should I close my heart?
Could you hold me for a while
(Refrain)
We're alive...we are
I can see all around me
You, when I close my eyes, open my eyes, realize, I think we can surmise
and if I'm gone too long, this song is all I've got to right this wrong
Would it end the same, should I save your name?
Would you laugh with me a while
(Refrain)
Like the breath of the night we all slip away
