Lyrics
THIS RIVER by Mark Vennis
RUNNING DOWN THIS HILL
AIN'T NO TURNING BACK
GOING THRU THESE CROWDS
LYING ON MY BACK
COLDS CRACKED MY HANDS
SKIN FEELS LIKE SAND
GOING UP STREAM AS THE TIDE GOES OUT
chorus
THIS RIVER'S GONNA CARRY ME HOME
BACK TO THE PLACE WHERE I BELONG
THIS RIVER'S GONNA CARRY ME HOME
OUT TO THE SEA WHERE I BELONG
YOU LIVE THIS LIFE
IT'S THE ONLY ONE YOU GOT
THE BLOOD PUMPS ROUND YER VEINS
YOU DODGED ANOTHER SHOT.
THE FURTHER UPSTREAM
THE MORE SCARED YOU GET
THRASHING AROUND
WAY OUT OF YOUR DEPTH
Chorus
THE BREATHTAKING CRUELTY
THE UNBELIEVABLE BEAUTY
SWIMMING UPSTREAM
AS THE TIDE GOES OUT
ALL OF THIS KNOWLEDGE
OVER ALL THESE YEARS
AL THEY CARE ABOUT IS
COLD HARD CASH
Chorus
