Lyrics
Like a River
© 1992 Joan Alexander
There?s a time that I remember when loving you could free me
Now with all the thing?s we?ve said nothing comes that easy.
Now I?ve got no one to give to and so much left to give
If I could only be with you I?d show the love I live.
My love?s like a river that?s running too high.
If no one?s going to stop me I might run myself dry.
It?s creeping up the edges and flooding all the flowers
Soon all the sweetness left will turn to something sour.
My love?s overflowing and I?m feeling kind of tired
And I?m afraid if you?re not here I?ll lose what I?ve acquired.
My love?s like a river that?s running too high.
If no one?s going to stop me I might run myself dry.
It?s funny how the force of love is so much like the river.
It?s sad to see it running low but threatening when it?s bigger.
I have done my solo and I have walked the line
I?ve built my life to suit me and I?ve filled up all my time
But there?s a piece that?s missing, an emptiness inside
I need a place to pour my love so life won?t pass me by.
My love?s like a river that?s running too high.
If no one?s going to stop me I might run myself dry.
My love?s like a river that?s running too high.
If no one?s going to stop me I might run myself dry.
