By River's Shore

Across the fields, down to the river
Where the marsh is bathed in sunset's glow
We'll pour out our cup of sorrows
Let the tide take them wherever it may go

It's a cup shared by those who came before us
Those who've crossed that great divide
At the river's shore, we'll join their chorus
When we cross the waters to the other side

Sometimes my mind's eye will see them gathered
Your mum and pa, my mom and my dad
Other friends and loved ones gone before us
Our hearts still broken and so sad

But in my dreams, the sorrow's vanished
There's a calm yet joyous glow
Their faces free of doubt and full of kindness
At the river's shore, we'll meet again I know

Across the fields, down to the river
Where the marsh is bathed in sunset's glow
I face the sun and feel its tender kiss
We'll meet again at the river's shore I know
