The River Always Carries Him Home

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The river runs long, the river runs wide Carrying my whole world out on its tide A man with calloused hands and a tender soul Writing me poems while the dark waters roll Every call ends the same, soft and true "I love you, I miss you, I'm coming home to you" [Chorus] He's my rock, he's my shore, he's my guiding light The steady arms that hold me through the night When I tremble, he whispers, "We were meant to be" And the river always carries him back to me [Verse 2] There was a season I learned how to pray When the doctors took his heart and gave it back someway That scar on his chest is a map of grace A reminder of every kiss, every embrace I count the days till his boots hit the floor And he's standing once again at our front door [Chorus] He's my rock, he's my shore, he's my guiding light The steady arms that hold me through the night When I tremble, he whispers, "We were meant to be" And the river always carries him back to me [Bridge] Oh Dwayne, you're the bravest love I know The courage in my corner wherever I go [Verse 3] So I'll hold to the promise written in your hand The devotion of a strong and gentle man Every mile of water, every lonely night Dwayne, you're the reason everything feels right I'll love you on the water, I'll love you on the shore Dwayne, my forever, and a little bit more [Chorus] He's my rock, he's my shore, he's my guiding light The steady arms that hold me through the night When I tremble, he whispers, "We were meant to be" And the river always carries him back to me [Outro] Come home, my love, come home to me Right where you've always been meant to be
