Tried to keep you close to me

But life got in between

Tried to square not being in 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 different life

We rode our bikes into the sky

But now we're caught against the tide

Those distant days all 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 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 hold

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
