Hailey Gardiner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With the rising sun
Where we used to go
Lead me in the silver line
Hold me hand too tight
In the morning cold
I will wait for you again
I will wait for you again
Every winter 'til the end
My love, my love
My love
Snow is falling on your hair
Silent through the air
Your voice the only sound
Say you love me
Let me hear the words again my dear
So I can carry them home
I will wait for you again
Every winter 'til the end
I will wait for you again
Every winter 'til the end
My love
You will always be enough
My love
You will always be enough
I will wait for you again
Every winter 'til the end
I will wait for you again
Every winter 'til the end
My love
You will always be enough
My love
You will always be enough

Meet me where the river runs
Come to the place where the river flows
With the rising sun
Come when the sun is ascending from the horizon
Where we used to go
Where we have already been before
Lead me in the silver line
Guide me on the path of hope
Hold me hand too tight
Hold my hand firmly

In the cold of the morning
I will wait for you again
I will patiently anticipate your arrival

During every winter season until the end of time
My love, my love
My beloved, my beloved
Snow is falling on your hair
The snow is accumulating on your hair

Silently floating through the atmosphere
