The Distant River

### The Distant River Distant river, distant tree A girl far away quietly weeps Her tears flow into a river wide Her silhouette stands tall like a tree Girl, oh girl, you seem so helpless Please send me some soil from afar I scatter it upon the road ahead Say a vow, and I’ll remember you Distant stars in the night so deep Thoughts of you in my heart they creep Your tears turn to stars in the sky Your silhouette sways in the night Girl, oh girl, you seem so lonely Please give me your distant heart I’ll keep it safe within my chest Each step I take, guided by your light Distant wind blows soft and mild Flowers fade, with a gentle sigh Your tears nourish the earth we tread Your silhouette sways with the breeze Girl, oh girl, you seem so fragile Please give me a leaf from afar I’ll hold it close within my hand Each touch, a warmth that I understand Distant dawn brings hope anew Your smile shines like morning dew Your silhouette glows in the light Girl, oh girl, you’re so beautiful Please give me a ray of distant light I’ll light my path with your bright love Every vow I make, held in my heart, never to part
