Hold Back The River

Tried to keep you close to me
 But life got in between
 Tried to square not being there
 But think that I should have been
 Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
 Hold back the river, so I
 Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
 Hold back the river, hold back
 Once upon a different life
 We rode our bikes into the sky
 But now we crawl against the tide
 Those distant days are flashing by
 Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
 Hold back the river, so I
 Can stop for a minute and be by your side
 Hold back the river, hold back
 Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander?
 Let us hold each other
 Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander?
 Let us hold each other
 Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
 Hold back the river, so I
 Can stop for a minute and be by your side
 Hold back the river, hold back
 Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander?
 Let us hold each other
