Lyrics
River - B. Novak
Watching you, on the river. Observing with a cautious eye.
Seeing double from the shoreline. Taking notice of the passersby.
On the port side, you’re getting bolder.
The bend approaches your see-saw sky.
I have a message that you delivered:
“Your bleeding heart is bleeding dry.”
{chorus}
Oh, oh.
The river gushes with cruel intention,
To find a riverbed to occupy.
Changing course when least expected – never satisfied with stimuli.
Ah, ah, ooh, ooh.
Ooh, ooh, ah, ah.
La, la la. The river - the river’s dry.
