Her, with her loving eyes   Her, with her open arms   A shelter in the night   As we drift into sleep   A soothing voice singing   River wide ocean deep      Her, with her vacant eyes   Her, with her withered arms   A vague promise of rain   Overhead storm clouds creep   A distant voice thundering   River wide ocean deep      Her, with her wild eyes   Her, with her clutching arms   A tempest pouring down   A flood no wall can keep   A drowning voice crying   River wide ocean deep      I don't know what's happening   Excuse me, I'm babbling      The ties that bind are the ties we keep   And she cried river wide ocean deep   The ties that bind are the ties we keep   Until we sleep, until we sleep
