((I)Intro-Instrumental, this song is approximately 3 1/2 minutes)))

Verse 1]

You came from the quiet with winter in your hands

Eyes like the sky when the storm understands

I stood in the clearing, unsure what you'd say

But the trees didn't move — and you didn’t look away

The ground held our silence like fresh fallen snow

No path, no direction, just no place to go

You reached for a truth we had buried in frost

I thought I had lost it — but I was never lost

And we walked where the river was always the same

Where time doesn’t follow, and nothing’s to blame

You touched my face like the wind touches stone

Not to change...................just to know......................

And I let it go — what I couldn’t admit

Where the river forgets

You spoke without speaking, a breath without sound

The moss took our footsteps and gave them the ground

Forgiveness, it came like the slowest drip of rain

No thunder, no lightning — just easing the pain

And we stood where the river was always the same

Where the leaves never ask who carried the flame

You brushed past my shoulder like nothing had torn

Not to fix.............. just to form..................

In the arms of the water

Where the river forgets

[Bridge] (instrumental builds gently)

Where no one owes and no one's blamed

We stayed long enough to feel the break of the chains

So we stayed where the river was always the same

Where the past is a fire that doesn’t need flame

You held me like dusk holds the last bit of sun

And I let you go with no need to regret

In the quiet that heals

Where the river forgets

Where the river forgets…...
