Tried to keep you close to me
But life got in between
Tried to square not being there
But think that I should'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 differente life
We rode our bikes into the sky
But now we crawl against the tide
Those distant days are flashing by
So 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
And 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 (I said now)
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
