A River Runs

Album: This House Will Stand - The Best of Oysterband 1998 - 2015 Durasi: 4:35

you are my mate, my long-lost friend

you are my hope, my resonance

you are the edge, my hidden blade

you carry all the plans we made

you are the path, my hidden trail

you are the end, my holy grail

you are my mood, my sudden rage

you are my wit, my final page

there are no certainties

we could fall, we could break apart

you pick me up, you smile

then the whole world starts

a river runs through you and me

never reaches the ocean, never reaches the sea

a river runs through you and me

never reaches the ocean, never reaches the sea

there is no chance we cannot take

no mistakes we will not make

each time the whirlpool drags us down

we come up laughing, spinning round

we have nothing left to prove

we have broken every rule

and all the hurt that we feel

just makes us stronger when we heal

there are no certainties

we could fall, we could break apart

you pick me up, you smile

then the whole world starts

a river runs through you and me

never reaches the ocean, never reaches the sea

a river runs through you and me

never reaches the ocean, never reaches the sea

the river runs so clear, runs so fast it blinds us

meanders to the sea, turns back and surrounds us

lifts us up, takes us down

the eddies swirl and bind us

you and me

you and me

Instrumental

a river runs through you and me

never reaches the ocean, never reaches the sea

a river runs through you and me

a river runs through you and me

a river runs through you and me

never reaches the ocean, never reaches the sea
