Liner Notes

#filk #fantasy

I had been noodling this chord progression for most of the day, and said to my husband, "Well, I've got a verse and a chorus, but no bridge."

He said "You've got a river and a forest?"

And then, my friends, this song became a reality. Enjoy.

Lyrics

(Capo 1)

V1
D G
All I see is a river
D G
And a forest around me too
Em G
The river so wide, the forest so deep
A
I need a bridge to get through

I see no sign of a pathway
I see no hint of a road
The forest is quiet, the river is calm
The rain will be my goad

CHORUS
Bm
I’ll find a way through
G
In this quiet terrain
Bm
I’ll find a way through
G
All the sun and the rain
Em
I’ll find a way to you
G
No matter the cost
A
I’ll find a way to you
D
Before I am lost

V2
Behind me, I see mountains
Before me, setting sun
The colors painted on the sky
Would call to anyone

But are you there, beyond this place?
I cannot say I know
Does my trek lead ever onward?
Where can I see to go?

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Em G
No road, no bridge, no border
A
No sign of where you’ve gone
Em G
But I can feel you calling me
A
So I will soldier on

V3
I’ll travel with the sunrise
I’ll move throughout the day
I’ll build a bridge or swim across
I will not lose my way

I’ll find you when I find you
Whether you are near or far
I know the road will open
Soon I’ll be where you are

CHORUS x2
