"When the River Runs Dry"

I see you wave in the morning
I'm waving back from distant shore
Don't know your name but I'm sending you my heart
My love sails safe once more.

Too far to swim against the current
No bridge to bring you to me
I yearn to cross and start each day with you
Thank God this river's not a sea

CHORUS
What's your name I wanna write it in the sky
Tell the world I fell in love from afar
Pray for the day there's no tears in your eyes
And the time when the river runs dry

It never freezes over in the winter
No chance to meet you half way
I won't take the risk of swimming to the other side
'Cause what might be will get swept away
