The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Fix my hair, close the latch on the gate

I fly across this town 'cause I don’t want to be late

And pull up to your house and your dad is staring holes through me

We see a movie, spent all that I had

You say romantic comedies these days make you sad

Just empty and lonely, wishing for a world like that

I could never let you go

You are the current, the river and the undertow

I could never let you go

You are the current, the river and the undertow

A white dress and the cutting of cake

A little house on seventh as the snow starts to flake

Pretty soon that house is full of diapers and crying things

Our daughter has a game so we load up the van

The joy upon her face it keeps us warm in the stands

And the boy is touring colleges life just moves as fast as it can

I could never let you go

You are the current, the river and the undertow

Darling I could never let you go

You are the current, the river and the undertow

They gather 'round as I’m slipping away

My hair that was so blonde has now all faded to grey

I’m so proud of the man and the woman you’ve come to be

My love is wearing blue like she was when we met

She grabs on to my hand and holds it tight to her chest

And the sound of her heartbeat leads me toward whatever’s next

I will never let you go

You are the current, the river and the undertow

I will never let you go

You are the current, the river and the undertow

Darling I will never let you go

You are the current, the river and the undertow

I will never let you go

You are the current, the river and the undertow
