In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To open arms of the sea yeah
Lonely river sigh wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home wait for me.
Oh,my,love, my darling I've hungered for
Your touch, a long lonely time
And time goes by, so slowly and time
Can do so much, are you still mine
I need your love,
I oh I need your love,
God speed your love to me.
Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms the sea yeah
Lonely river sigh wait for me ,wait for me
I'll be comin' home wait for me.
Oh my love my darling
I've hungered,hungered for your touch, a long lonely time
And time goes by so slowly and time can do so much are you still mine
I need your love
I oh I need your love
God speed your love to me
To open arms of the sea yeah
Lonely river sigh wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home wait for me.
Oh,my,love, my darling I've hungered for
Your touch, a long lonely time
And time goes by, so slowly and time
Can do so much, are you still mine
I need your love,
I oh I need your love,
God speed your love to me.
Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms the sea yeah
Lonely river sigh wait for me ,wait for me
I'll be comin' home wait for me.
Oh my love my darling
I've hungered,hungered for your touch, a long lonely time
And time goes by so slowly and time can do so much are you still mine
I need your love
I oh I need your love
God speed your love to me

He is a musician, plays like 4 instruments, and he still doesnt write his own songs! Its a complete crock! Will has started writing songs for his album! Gareth has a pretty average voice, very boybandish! This is a great song, but so over covered by people!
