try to keep you close to me
but life got in between
try to square not be in 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 light
we rode our bikes into the sky
and now we call 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 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
lonely water lonely water
won't you let us wonder
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 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
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
