lyrics

THERE’S A RIVER FLOWING THROUGH ME

I LOOKED INTO THE EYES OF SORROW
I LOOKED INTO A HEART OF FEARS
I LISTENED WHILE THE STORY OPENED UP INSIDE
I RECOGNISED THE FALLEN TEARS

THERE’S A RIVER FLOWING THROUGH ME
I NEVER HEARD TO PLACE ITS CALL
NO TURN OR CHASE THAT I COULD FOLLOW
NO OCEANS TIME TO RISE OR FALL

THERE’S A RIVER FLOWING THROUGH ME
BEARS NO REACH OF SAND OR STONE
TRIED AT TIMES REMIND THAT I SHOULD SEEK TO GROUND
NOT HARBOUR LOVERS LEFT ALONE

THERE’S A RIVER FLOWING THROUGH ME
CARRIED ICE TO HEAT AND AGE
LEAVING SPRINGTIME BY THE MEADOWS
WHILE AUTUMN SCATTERED DREAMS WITH RAGE

THERE’S A RIVER FLOWING THROUGH ME
AT ONE TIME TOOK ME TO YOUR SIDE
BUT WHEN I STOPPED AND HADES KISSED MY SWOLLEN MOUTH
NOT ONLY STOLEN WATERS DIED

THERE’S A RIVER FLOWING THROUGH ME
I FEEL IT SLOWLY DRAIN AWAY
DROWNING LOVERS WHERE THEY’RE SWIRLING
TURNING ALL SO NONE WILL STAY

THERE’S A RIVER RUNNING THROUGH ME
DRIED UPON SOME LONESOME BED
WASHED AWAY INSIDE A STORM THAT LOVE UNLEASHED
PAID THE FLOWING WATERS DEBT
