lyrics

There is a distant horizon

Through the mist in the trees

And it whispers my name

Each night and each day

And I carry that burden with me

In the fields I remember

When these hands were clean

Then I lower my gaze and just get through the day

For I know it should have been me

Oh let me go

Back to the river I know

Let me go

Do you still remember

That it wasn’t me

Who was charged with the task

Of all you had asked

And who dragged you and our child to sea

On a day in December

I knew you were gone

But I’ve felt you my dear with each look in the mirror

And you leave me in peace with each dawn

Oh let me go

Back to the river I know

Let me go

Oh let me go

It should have been me I know

Let me go

Mary, I still remember

Mary, I still remember

Oh let me go

Back to the river I know

Let me go

Oh let me go

It should have been me I know

Let me go
