Tried to keep you close to me

But life got in between

Tried to square not being in their

But think that I should have been

Hold back the river let me look in your eyes

Hold back the river so I could

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 crawl against the time

Those distant days are flashing by

Hold back the river let me look in your eyes

Hold back the river so I

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

Stop for a minute and see where you hide

Hold back the river hold back

Oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Lonely water lonely water

Won't you let us wonder

Let us hold each other

Lonely water lonely water

Won't you let us wonder

Let us hold each other

Hold back the river let me look in your eyes

Hold back the river so I

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 be by your side

Hold back the river oh

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
