Bend of the River

Bend of the River

Indie folk-pop; gentle fingerpicked acoustic guitar with soft male vocals up close and intimate, light shaker and brushed snare entering on the chorus. Subtle piano doubles the hook, with warm pad swells in the bridge. Energy arcs from hushed verse to a glowing, head-nod chorus; stacked harmonies on the title line for a bittersweet, sing-along feel.

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Follow me at the bend of the river Where the water slows down Turns silver Kick your shoes in the reeds by the willow Let the sky be our borrowed pillow [Chorus] Follow me at the bend of the river Where the world falls quiet Hearts grow bigger We can say what we never deliver If you get lost I’ll be waiting by the shiver Follow me At the bend of the river [Verse 2] You trace lines in the sand like a map Say you’re tired of the same old trap Let the current steal every old story Let your doubts drift out with the morning [Chorus] Follow me at the bend of the river Where the world falls quiet Hearts grow bigger We can say what we never deliver If you get lost I’ll be waiting by the shiver Follow me At the bend of the river [Bridge] If you’re scared Just walk in slow (walk in slow) We got time to let it go (let it go) Leave your name carved into that stone So you remember you’re not alone [Chorus] Follow me at the bend of the river Where the world falls quiet Hearts grow bigger We can say what we never deliver If you get lost I’ll be waiting by the shiver Follow me At the bend of the river
