Cool river flowing endlessly to the ocean Warm breeze blowing sets the ripples in motion Thin silver shivers of light dancing across the surface of the water Like flames trapped beneath the skin Flickering butterfly kisses on the water Take me down, down to the river Let the years wash away Let my youth never fade And let it roll on forever Swimming through the ashes of all those bridges we have burned
Fool for believing in the moments we’d stolen World keep on turning River keep rolling Thin silver shivers of light dancing across the surface of the water Like flames trapped beneath the skin Flickering butterfly kisses on the water Take me down, down to the river Let the years wash away Let my youth never fade And let it roll on forever Swimming through the ashes of all those bridges we have burned
