take all my memories down to the river side wash them all clean wash them dry rinse out my eyes till i m colour blind and let this heart begin let all the waves in to fill the streets swallow the world whole beneath my feet and i ll watch it fall to the murky deep now everything s where it needs to be everything s where it needs to be let the river run and the weight fall on my shoulder let the river run and the waves crash over and over let the river run cause my journey s begun i m on a new road never to return i m on a new road never to return soft lights are dancing down like fireflies drifting on by me now as the current dies and i see the years falling before my eyes oh cover me won t you cover me let the river run and the weight fall on my shoulder let the river run and the waves crash over and over let the river run cause my journey s begun i m on a new road never to return i m on a new road never to return so let the river run let the river run and let the weight fall let the river run and let the waves come let the river run let the river run let the river run and the waves crash over and over let the river run cause my journey s begun i m on a new road never to return i m on a new road never to return so let the river run let it run run run run run let it run run run run run
