Lyrics

RIVER

VERSE
There is a river runs through the depth of you and I will surely drown if you bid me to
Find what Siddhartha found when he fell into the chinks of reality.
You could let me dance down inside your mind, let our intellects battle for this heart of mine,
But I don?t have the strength, and I sure don?t have the time.

CHORUS
If time is what you need-
If time is what you need-
You could pick me up. You could roll me round or you could throw me back with a splashing sound
Or crawl on back into my arms, my love, and I will hold you.
You could draw your breath from inside my mouth and you could savor it, or breathe it out,
Or craw on back into my mind, my love, and I will free you.
When time is what you need I?ll free you from time.
To hold eternity find your home in me, carried where there is a river.

VERSE
There is a tunnell carved into the wall of this child where you can safely go, let you spirit hide,
Or let your voice run scared, your eyes run wild all over me.
There is a covenant cut in blood and when it?s human flesh they call it love
But that is way too thin to be enough to cover me.

CHORUS
If time is what you need-
If time is what you need-
You could pick me up. You could roll me round or you could throw me back with a splashing sound
Or crawl on back into my arms, my love, and I will hold you.
You could draw your breath from inside my mouth and you could savor it, or breathe it out,
Or craw on back into my mind, my love, and I will free you.
When time is what you need I?ll free you from time.
To hold eternity find your home in me, carried where there is a river.
