I've sat and watched the autumn rain
As it filled the rivers up again
I heard your gentle voice begin to sing
"I love you"
Oh I, I need your healing touch upon my head
I need your bread
And I would jump into your river
I would drown to be alive in you [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/chasing_furies/i_would_drown.html ]
I've sat and watched the autumn rain
AS it filled the rivers up again
I heard your gentle voice begin to sing
"I love you"
You haven't changed since I'd been gone
These desert days, they seem to last so long
Fall on my face, begin to scream
That I need you
My meaning for i would drown, is exactly like it says, the lyrics, are basically describing my life how it was, is and probably always going to be. It's my message to those who are hurting and need a friend, who need encouragement, or just something to make them smile. It has such a deep meaning for me... Gives me hope, makes me hear the voice, as if its talking/speaking to me directly. And its amazing.
