Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My lovers voice turned rivers wide
Flow me to her heart
I want to listen from where it starts
If I dive too deep
I pray to God my soul to keep
She can sing a symphony
So hush, be still, crowd
And watch me fall to heaven
And she will sing so loud
And take us all to heaven
If you say you heard it all
I would burn the music halls
I can say I'll wait for years
To hear her son with deafening ears
She can sing a symphony
Like a three note melody
So hush, be still, crowd
And watch me fall to heaven
And she will sing so loud
And take us all to heaven
Hush, be still, crowd
And watch me fall to heaven
And she will sing so loud
And take us all to heaven
