I listen to this song repeatedly. I created a Bandcamp specifically to hear this song. Neffy is amazing. She moves me to tears with her voice and soothing melodies. Theres something painful here but its so beautiful. I love you Neffy and that you so much for creating such a hauntingly beautiful song.
Favorite track: Wait Up.

lyrics
Deep in the pocket of your coat,
There’s a letter there that I wrote
We both know that this cannot work
Not when the river’s calling oh,
the river’s calling.
Don’t have a fancy job or fame
But I hear the river knows my name
And that is all I could ask
To be held in the valley’s grasp
Wait up!
Is there one last chance to dance in the river, dance in the river?
I'm stuck
And the city’s
got its grip on me and I have had
Enough
You’re my home, my prayer
but when I wake you’re not there
And I hope you
Wait up.
Held me tender as a child
your water was my food and kind
I grew up and left for the lights
But it seems that I’ve lost my mind.
Oh, it seems that I’ve lost my mind.
Wait up!
Is there one last chance to dance in the river, dance in the river?
I'm stuck
And the city’s
got its grip on me and I have, I’ve had Enough
You’re my home, my prayer
but when I wake you’re not there
I hope you
Wait up
I’ll rejoice in my own free will
In the tide where your waters run still
And your love is the sun I see
In the valley’s where you’ll wait for me
Wait up!
Is there one last chance to dance in the river, dance in the river?
I'm stuck
And the city’s
got its hooks in me and I have had Enough.
There’s a letter there that I wrote
We both know that this cannot work
Not when the river’s calling oh,
the river’s calling.
Don’t have a fancy job or fame
But I hear the river knows my name
And that is all I could ask
To be held in the valley’s grasp
Wait up!
Is there one last chance to dance in the river, dance in the river?
I'm stuck
And the city’s
got its grip on me and I have had
Enough
You’re my home, my prayer
but when I wake you’re not there
And I hope you
Wait up.
Held me tender as a child
your water was my food and kind
I grew up and left for the lights
But it seems that I’ve lost my mind.
Oh, it seems that I’ve lost my mind.
Wait up!
Is there one last chance to dance in the river, dance in the river?
I'm stuck
And the city’s
got its grip on me and I have, I’ve had Enough
You’re my home, my prayer
but when I wake you’re not there
I hope you
Wait up
I’ll rejoice in my own free will
In the tide where your waters run still
And your love is the sun I see
In the valley’s where you’ll wait for me
Wait up!
Is there one last chance to dance in the river, dance in the river?
I'm stuck
And the city’s
got its hooks in me and I have had Enough.
