Flowing Rivers

(written by Andy Gibb)
 The stage is set another show must go on
 The spotlight's burning down into my face
 The drummer sits up high upon his rostrum
 Guitarists play each other face to face
 And when it's over, I'll stop and wonder
 And never understand
 'cause leaving this was never in my plans
 And when I'm playing all I see is things you'll never find
 Flowing rivers passing through my mind
 Deceiving and receiving was my pastime
 to every girl who liked my written lines
 They'd think that any moment I'd be their guy
 But crying never justified my lies, oh no
 And next time 'round will be the same
 They never understand that hurting them was never in my plans
 My songs will slow like passing clouds
 Something in each line
 Flowing rivers passing through my mind
 I've got to go, I've finished what I came for
 Playing every city, state to state
 Singing every town that learned to like me
 Modest payments paid for what I ate
 Ah, you're standing there, tears in your eyes
 You once called me a man
 And loving you was never in my plans
 We'll go together, you and I, till we both find
 Flowing rivers passing through my mind
 We'll go together, you and I, till we both find
 Flowing rivers passing through my mind
