River

Time's been running

I knew you couldn't last

Sand slips through our hands

Like an hourglass

You kept a dragging me down, down

Into your past

No, no, no

No, no, no

No I ain't going back

There's a river

Flowing to the sea

And this river

Is take, take, taking you away from me

Back to the banks

Where I barely survived

And I learned to take shape

In the shadows at night

Singing I, I, I I'm barely alive

Oh no no

Gotta go

Get you outta my life

There's a river

Flowing to the sea

And this river

Is take, take, taking you away from me

Thought you'd never leave

So I threw myself in

Praying that I might be born again

Then I left you at the bottom

Where you seem to fit in

Oh no no

No you won't

Come back again

There's a river

Flowing to the sea

And this river

Is take, take, taking you away

take, taking you away

take, taking you away from me
