Intro
Verse 1
Here's to your garden here's to your kids
I heard you were in the neighbourhood
I've been a long time on the skids
Chorus
And baby I'm beside you - you run from the river
When it long ran over you
Verse 2
This is for you standing up to a bone-chilling wind
This is for the failures you collected from my sin
And this is for your lonesome tears I never dried
This is for you hanging in, in the hope that it never dies
Chorus
And baby I'm beside you - you run from the river
When it long ran over you
Verse 3
This is for you waiting up though the call never came
For the milk of human kindnesses you collected from our dream
And this is for your lonesome tears I never dried
This is for you hanging in, in the hope that it never died
Chorus
And baby I'm beside you - you run from the river
When it long ran over you
Bridge
And now I'm running here beside you
And now I'm running here beside you
Verse 4
This is for the traveler on a blinding desert road
Good fortune smile upon you and may love be your only load
And this is for the only one who could quell my burning rage
To anyone whose been a broken man and anyone see better days
Outro
Baby I'm beside you
And now I'm running here beside you
And now I'm running here beside you
And now I'm running here beside you
And now I'm running here beside you
