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've 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 differente life
We rode our bikes into the sky
But now we crawl against the tide
Those distant days are flashing by

So 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

And 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

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 (I said now)
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
