River

Lyrics

Isn't she a river?
 She doesn't need a diamond to shine
 You can't really have her
 But you can hold her for a time
 ♪
 Takes an army just to bend her
 Be careful where you send her
 You can't hold her back for long
 A river is just too strong
 And she's a river
 ♪
 Arms made out of silver
 Moving in a crooked line
 Carrying some dreamers
 Off into the end of time
 ♪
 You don't need to save her
 Or teach her to behave
 Just let her arms unwind
 Ever changing and undefined
 She's a river
 You can ride her easy when she's slow
 Walk across her when she's low
 Follow wherever she goes
 She's a river
 Run for cover when she's mad
 Drown in her tears when things are bad
 Don't you ever forget it that
 She's a river
 ♪
 Isn't she a river?
 ♪
 She doesn't need a diamond to shine
 So people call you clever
 But she's been here a long, long time
 ♪
 And she's seen so many faces
 And places down the line
 She's been left for dead a million times
 Keeps coming home
 Arms open wide
 Ever changing and undefined
 ♪
 She's a river
 ♪
 She's a river
 ♪
 She's a river
