I Remember Dying Lyrics
If you meet me by the river
I'll tell you what's forever
If you hold me there forever
I remember dying
I remember dying
But as I drift to sleep
When I just can't yet
Twenty thousand sheep
Some I will forget
Looking up as if
I was still awake
Looking up as if
You were still
If you meet me by the river
I'll tell you what's forever
I remember dying
'Cause I remember dying
By the river
By the river
'Cause I remember dying
I'll tell you what's forever
If you hold me there forever
I remember dying
I remember dying
But as I drift to sleep
When I just can't yet
Twenty thousand sheep
Some I will forget
Looking up as if
I was still awake
Looking up as if
You were still
If you meet me by the river
I'll tell you what's forever
I remember dying
'Cause I remember dying
By the river
By the river
'Cause I remember dying

Lovers meet by the river. One expresses his everlasting love and it is not requited. The shunned is suspended there indefinitely, as a part of them has died along with the relationship.
While the spurned lover is attempting to move on they cannot sleep and resort to counting sheep, the high number (20,000) indicates they are never able to sleep. As they drift off they imagine looking up to see their partner still there, lovingly.
