I felt you coming my way before I knew who you were
Like the fog in my thoughts in a beautiful blur
There was a ripple in the air before you walked into the room
Right then I could tell that you'd been good since you came outta the womb
Could I be your North Star?
Or maybe a river running to your heart?
My love is what the flood can't wash away
One 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 quite
And there was something in the room and it was hovering above
Maybe the ghost who used to haunt the house where you grew up
So let yourself cry
Let the wild river rush from your green eyes
Our love is what the tide can't wash away
Yeah I knew that you were there before I knew you were alive
I could tell by the light in the sky before you walked up the drive
There was something in the air before you walked into the room
Made me know that you been good since you came outta the womb
Let yourself sigh
Because this has been such a long, hard time
Shake off the shivering
You're a shark that never stops swimming
I'll be that dim North Star
I'm a river running to your heart
