Cross Over The River

CROSS OVER THE RIVER written by Ric Hickey November 29, 2018 Let us cross over the river and rest in the shade of those trees The sun is hot but the water is cool and I’m already up to my knees The far shore to my eyes looks like Paradise, We’ll break bread over there if you please Let us cross over the river and rest in the shade of those trees Tell my child I will wait for her but don’t you hurry to cross Her precious life force, God’s sweet nectar, savor every drop So much life to live, so much love to give, On your cheek feel me in the breeze But for now I must cross over and rest in the shade of those trees My love I must go solo, it’s not yours but my time Taking only your sweet memory and leaving you with mine Kiss me on the brow and give my hand one final squeeze Then I’ll cross over the river and rest in the shade of those trees
