Verse 1
Seventeen and headed back to the hills, the place I called home
When I left I was just a child and went back all grown
In a few months i’d be starting over, leaving it all behind
For the other side of the world a path already defined
I remember the moment I got caught in your glance
Never even thought of the distance
And so deeply I fell in love with you
And there was nothing i could do
Chorus
Some loves are rivers, they run fast and deep
Some loves are mountains vast and steep
They are not something that time could ever move
Like the man I left behind and the love I would never lose
Verse 2
My head was fighting a battle with fate
But never saying what my heart couldn’t take
And that last night in your arms, as they played our song
Counting down the seconds but still holding on
Letters crossed oceans carrying hopes and dreams
But I held on longer than you it seamed
Life carried on but I would often wonder
If you’d ever free me from the spell I was under
Chorus
Some loves are rivers, they run fast and deep
Some loves are mountains vast and steep
They are not something that time could ever move
Like the man I left behind and the love I would never lose
Bridge
Years went by, then out of the blue
Someone said I should reach out to you
And just like listening to an old favourate track
All the memories and feelings came flooding back
Chorus
Some loves are rivers, they run fast and deep
Some loves are mountains vast and steep
They are not something that time could ever move
Like the man I left behind and the love I would never lose
Outro
The boy I met at seventeen, beneath those northern skies
You will live on forever in the story of my life
Behind the Song – Beyond Words
Beyond Words is a heartfelt tribute to the rare people whose kindness, authenticity, and quiet strength leave an everlasting mark on the lives of others. It imagines the fleeting chance to finally meet someone who has inspired hope, comfort, and belief from afar, while searching for the words that could ever express the depth of their impact.
The song reflects on how genuine compassion can outlive fame or appearances, reminding us that true beauty is found in the way a person makes others feel. More than admiration, it is a promise that the light they have shared with the world will always be reflected back to them. Beyond Words is ultimately about gratitude, human connection, and the extraordinary power of simply being a source of hope for someone else.
