She's a River

Shadow, let go, there's something you should know

I just found my new direction and I hope you like the key

Like the air that led me to it, she's the wind that sucked me through it

She's a river and she's churning there in front of me

Stand back, get back, she'll paint your blue skies black

She gives bulletproof protection, she got a resurrection feel

When I'm scared and 'bout to lose, she gives me travellin' shoes

She's a river and she's churning there in front of me

And I go blind

Wastin' my time

The river's in front of me

That's where I'm gonna be

Shine on, get on

Twilight from dusk till dawn

She's the spirit of creation, she's the last chance guarantee

Got a myriad of poses, sweet miracles and roses

She's a river and she's churning there in front of me

And I go blind

Wastin' my time

The river's in front of me

That's where I'm gonna be

Shadow, oh

'Cause when I find my state of mind

The river's in front of me

They say that every heaven's got a thousand rooms

So take me on a freedom ride

My heart is like a hunter in the silent moon

My nerves feel electrified

Meet me on a staircase by a darkened room

Light me like a naked flame

The voice from Mother Nature says all things must pass

Nothing here can remain

They say that every heaven's got a thousand rooms

So take me on a freedom ride

You raise me like a building to the very top, rush me to the end of time

You fill me full of danger, give me future shock

Then you leave me wasted dyin'

(Stand back, get back)

Stand back, get back

Move on, she's a river, she's a river

(She's a river)

And I go blind

Wastin' my time

The river's in front of me

Stand back (Stand back)

Get back (Get back)

She's a river, she's a river (She's a river)

She's a river (She's a river)

Shadow and ghetto

Twilight from dusk till dawn

She's a spirit of creation, she's a last chance guarantee

Stand back, get back, she's a river

(She's a river, she's a river)

In front of me

Stand back (A river in front of me)

Get back, there's a river in front of me

A river in front of me

A river in front of me
