River Man

I see your eyes light up like fire

It's medicine to me

But as the hunted live their lives

You're keeping out of reach

 

So I keep running, falling

Till I reach the water

Run with me holyman

But when I reach out

I find I'm standing right beside her

Now we're living

Blessed with all the thunder in the world

 

Now, should you ask me to come home

To wake up from the sleep

Like a boat inside a storm

Is there no hope for me?

 

So I keep running, falling

Wade into the water

Run with me riverman

But when I reach out

I find I'm standing right beside her

Now we're living

Blessed with all the thunder in the world
