Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tried to keep you close to me
But life got in between
Tried to square not being there
But think that I should've been
[Chorus]
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back
[Verse 2]
Once upon a different life
We rode our bikes into the sky
But now we're caught against the tide
Those distant days all flashin' by
[Chorus]
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold back
[Chorus]
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back
[Bridge]
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh whoa whoa
[Verse 3]
Lonely water, lonely water won't you let us wander?
Let us hold each other
Lonely water, lonely water won't you let us wander?
Let us hold each other
[Chorus]
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold back
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold
[Outro]
Lonely water, lonely water won't you let us wander?
Let us hold each other
Lonely water, lonely water won't you let us wander?
Let us hold each other
