I try to keep you close to me
But life got in between
I try to square not being there
But think that I,
I shoul'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 different life
We rode our bikes into the sky
But now we call against the tide
Those distant days are 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

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

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 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
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
