Lord Huron - Wait By The River Lyrics
I will wait by the river
In the light of the moon
At the edge of the city
I will wait for you
Someday I'll be dead and gone
And I won't be forgiven
For what I've done
I will wait by the river
I will wait by the river
I will wait by the river
I will wait by the river
I will cry out to heaven
I will beg for forgiveness
Get down on my knees
If I can't change the weather
Maybe I can change your mind
If we can't be together
What's the point of life
Baby, I didn't mean the things I said
I don't honestly wish you were dead
I'm a fool, I'm just a man
If I only could hold you again
And the stars fill the river
As it flows into the sky
And the mind leaves the body
And floats higher and higher
If we can't be together
I will leave this world behind
If I can't touch your body
Can I touch the sky?
I will wait by the river
I will wait by the river
I will wait by the river
I will wait by the river

Lord Huron Wait By The River Comments
🌌🌊
since you passed away from my heart...14 plus years...im still waiting....forever , my sweet wife....forever by the river...
My Spanish teacher was playing this durning class on her computer and I thought it
Someday I’ll be dead and gone and I won’t be forgiven for what I’ve done
my favorite song 😭🖤
Wow! Makes you want to hold on to your love one more secure and tell them everything is alright in the world. Powerful song... moving lyrics.
Who remembers walking with dinosaurs
jake i only knew you for three months, but those were the best three months of my life. i still love you
I love this song so much I listen to it every second I get!!!
true story in my life...painful yet beautiful, gives HOPE musically... subliminal lyrics, which I LOVE💜
Gorgeous perfection. Their music speaks my soul as always. 🖤
At first I thought "bahh" but then I understood this song is part of its ownworld and I hadn't been invited yet. I have now and this is magic.
STILLL ...❤️u..🙁
I think this song is so catchy, because it sounds like Let Me Roll It by Paul McCartney & Wings. 🤔
Bekleyelim bakalım.
This song is for all the broken hearts out there who’ve lost someone they wish they could have back 😢😭
Please Please come on tour in Cardiff ( England) !!! i love your music so much but i live in england and i know you won't see this but pleasee
Can I just say..what a facking great tune!! Never heard of these guys or this song until just last week...best modern song I've heard in quite some time.
I don't know any other stuff by these guys, and not sure I want to hear anything...I think I'd just like to go see them live and be surprised.
I love this
Why are men always threatening suicide? Jeez, just say "I'm sorry".. there's no need for emotional manipulation.
Must be listened to with headphones. Thank me later
falling in love is as good as falling on your face. :/
This song pops into my mind when I daydream about her lol
Like every single time haha
Wow never heard of this before 🥺.....love it💎💎💎💎
So good.
I've felt this whole song😭
Can’t believe this song exists, it’s like a page out of my diary. I fell in love with a boy at the start of this year and our meeting spot was the river near my dads house. We would meet in secret because he was two years older than me, we would meet every Friday. At first it was an innocent friendship, we would lay on the jetty looking at the stars and the moon and watch for shooting stars. We would talk about philosophy and our cosmic and spiritual beliefs and had so much in common. We’d lay there for hours staring at the moon and admire the reflection it made on the water. After a few weeks of this we were helplessly in love with eachother, convinced we were meant to be in eachothers lives and that the universe had brought us together for a reason, a belief we both still hold to this day. The river was our spot and our home, our meeting ground, the only place we felt safe from other people’s opinions of our relationship considering the age difference. As time passed more people came to know of our meetings at our spot, his fear and anxiety got the better of him and he decided we couldn’t be together and the guilt he felt made him lose feelings for me . It’s been a month since we’ve spoken, I sit on that jetty by the river some nights hoping he will come hold me again like he did on those magical nights. I have lost him and I’m still healing from that, I hope he is too. I will always be thankful for him being in my life even if it was temporary. I will never forget him, my first love.
U, W ,U
This song is the bomb. Needs to be more popular
Every time I hear this it reminds me of Aziraphale and Crowley from Good Omens :)
For my husband
why does this relate so much
I love this song but I hate the part "I didn't mean the things I said I don't honestly wish you were dead" its so out of place and weird. Idk about you but if a man wished me dead idfc how long he waits by that damn river. He can be a skeleton for all I care. I want to make a version without that part.
Sarah. My everything. I pray we meet again ..i will wait for you. Forever. You were/are everything to me. My heart my soul. Truly, ...madly...deeply...in love with you. Goodnight my Angel. - glem
Aaron, if you’re reading this,I still love you.
I know the feeling
You lovely f***ers are hitting me.
Did DMT to this song
Excellent song, excellent songwriter.
Roswell, New Mexico ❤️ Liz telling Max "I want you!" ❤️
💚💚💚
I love this song
Roswell brought me here!!
Obama 👌
"If we can't be together,Iwill leave this world behind"
Woah bro thats deep
If we can’t be together what’s the point of life? Best line ever.
can anyone suggest me some songs like this one?
please
I’m here cause my sister used to listen to do this every time we went for a drive and would always say ... “me and Obama listen to the same song!!”.. this was before she left for her military service
Absolutely LOVE this, heard it this morning... It has that beautiful "throw back" sound that my Daddy liked... We play a game, I share something new with that throw back sound... He shares something old, with that sound...
I lost my Daddy, a few weeks ago..I heard this.. And wept. Partly because it's so beautiful, partly because... The game we played is over. I did share it in his memory.. Beautiful, beautiful song!
I'm just checking back into your channel here and holy shit where did all these people come from?
this song really transports you somewhere. Sad and sweet at the same time...
Love this song❤️❤️❤️💕
I really want to open for you guys!! Great song.
I believe this song is about suicide..
I heard this on the radio last week, had to check it out, I think this song just speaks to your soul, what a great melody!

Here because of Obama, not a fan of Obama. I like the band alot. Not my favorite song I've heard from them but gave it a shot.
For Barack Obama :v
Thanks Obama
Obama sent me here
What a beautiful song. I had never heard this before. I was curious because it was on Obama's list for his favorites of 2018
Obama suggested this song, meanwhile Trump is planning to publish his favourite porn videos of 2018.
....Just stop 🛑..enjoy the song .
Mr. President brought me here! Oh lord, what a man & his choices and taste in everything books, movies, songs, and his woman! I wish they were the PM of my great country--India!
Only here cause Obama sent me 👌🏽
Can't lie, was recommended by President Barack Obama. ❤️
Obama sent me here lol.
Barack Obama brought me here.
Im here because this song was on Obama list of best songs of 2018..
*Also I’m shooketh that Obama listens to this type of music*
The white half does.
Willlie Nellson I do and im Mixed, but I listen to alotta stuff
Thanks Obama
President Obama's recommendation brought me here. I would have never been aware of this otherwise. Great song!
One of the greatest President's (Obama) favorite song of the year. Classic jam.
Who's here from Obama favorite song of the year?
Pete wilson?
Please dont ruin this song with political horse shit. I voted for Obama twice but really dont want to think of him or any other politician when Im enjoying music.
@Phoenix M. all 200 ppl lol
No. I thumbs down this comment.
Ew gross Barak Hussein?
Here because of Obama. Thanks, Obama.
Saw this on Obama's favorite tracks of '18. I have to say I'm not disappointed 😁
I found this song thanks to Barack Obama, it was on his 2018 favorites list...added to my playlist along with others by Lord Huron.
Barack Obama anyone?
Perfection👌🙏❤
One of the most beautiful songs ever. Best of luck to this band.
this is a great song. will buy this music
Spotify finally points me in the right direction, I can't get this song out of my head.
It’s so morbid and sad how the lyrics to this song apply to the dynamic of Hannah and Clay’s relationship on 13 Reasons Why, and this is the same artist who made ‘The Night We Met’ 😕. Random show-geek mental realization. Beautiful song though!
This song would sound great live at One-Eyed Jacks
T H R O W B A C K
I literally cannot stop listening, the story grows more intense each time....almost as intense as that chest throbbing bass. "...what's the point of life...." bass boom, wow!
This reminds me of all the bands with a dreamy tone that were popping up left and right back in the good old high school days , back when all you needed to do was chill , smoke bud and do homework ...
Good days y’all , good music !
The shear and utter hopelessness when I hear this song, it kills me every time I listen to it. I keep coming back to it, even though I know what it does to me. If you're out there somewhere, feeling like I do, I hope you're hanging on, even if it's by a thread. Peace.
Wings - let me roll it
Will never forget when they played this song live and Ben saying, “this song goes out to all you lonely lovers.” Absolutely gorgeous song + performance
amazing band & song love all the instruments gong wow. this song sure fills the soul as so many of their songs do.
You can escape from the darkness and come back to the light.
Just like the prodigal son you're always welcome back.
In these last days there is real power power that you can see and feel, tangible power. Power to sever the silver cord, to separate you and keep you and those you love from them that threatened you, if you ever turned away...
Power to bind them and power to loose those that are bound...
No sin is so great, that it can't be forgiven and forgotten. If Aleister Crowley would have repented, GOD would have forgiven him as well... Even the Schreck Family can obtain forgiveness, if they are sincere.. even Anton LaVey could have if he didn't die first...
No one is sent to hell, they all choose hell. But it's not too late for you.. you have a chance to come back..
Hear this song everyday at work & it comes off dreamy, time goes by when this comes on.. Love
Love this
I discovered lord huron because of the secret life of walter mitty :)
This song is a masterpiece. It gets me everytime.
I often play this after Flightless Bird haha
