Try to keep you close to me
But life got in between
Try to square not being there
But it's there 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
Now we crawl against the tide
Those distant days all 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
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
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
