Lyrics

### Verse 1

Love came to me like a thunderstorm rolling across cotton fields
No warning, no permission, no gentle knock at the door
One day I was tending to my ordinary sorrows
The next, my heart was speaking a language it never knew before

You touched places inside me I kept hidden from daylight
Old rooms I swore nobody would ever enter again
And somehow your presence felt both dangerous and sacred
Like a blessing wrapped inside a beautiful sin

I tried to stay sensible, tried to stay guarded
Tried to keep my feet planted on familiar ground
But your name moved through my spirit like Delta floodwater
And suddenly every certainty I had was drowned

### Chorus

Restless as the river
That's how this love moves through me
Pulling at my soul in the middle of the night
Refusing to leave me be

Restless as the river
Carving through every defense I built
Making a believer out of a woman
Who once thought her heart was sealed

### Verse 2

There are evenings when your memory drifts through my window
Carried by the same moon that watches over us both
And I find myself smiling at conversations long finished
Still holding the weight of every promise we spoke

I've loved before, Lord knows I have
But never with this kind of reckless grace
Never with a feeling that could shake foundations
Just from the thought of seeing your face

It's a beautiful burden, this longing I carry
A sweet ache that follows wherever I roam
Like a blues melody humming beneath every heartbeat
Reminding me where my spirit feels home

### Chorus

Restless as the river
That's how this love moves through me
Pulling at my soul in the middle of the night
Refusing to leave me be

Restless as the river
Carving through every defense I built
Making a believer out of a woman
Who once thought her heart was sealed

### Bridge

Maybe that's the nature of true affection
It doesn't ask permission before it arrives
It sweeps through your life like summer lightning
And leaves every corner electrified

You can fight it
You can deny it
You can hide from it for a season or two

But eventually...

The truth comes calling

And the truth is you

### Verse 3

Now when I sit beneath neon and slow blues guitars
Watching lonely people search the room for connection
I thank heaven for every moment you found me
And changed the direction of my reflection

Because before you, I was surviving beautifully
After you, I remembered how to feel
And there ain't enough words in any language
To explain how something this powerful can be real

### Final Chorus

Restless as the river
Forever finding its way to the sea
That's how my heart keeps traveling back to you
No matter where life carries me

Restless as the river
Ancient, stubborn, deep, and true
Moving through every chapter of my story

Always...

Back to you

### Outro

So if someday you wonder what became of me

Know this...

Some loves arrive like passing seasons

Others become part of the landscape

Part of the water

Part of the sky

Part of the woman

And baby...

You became part of mine

Restless as the river...

Forever flowing...

Toward you...
