Lyrics

Let the river run its course

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.

The future's deserted waiting there for you and me

No past is going to stop us blowing down this road apiece

Why we've come too far, too far to turn back now

We can't just throw it all away when something good goes wrong, oh no

Nothing has been written which says which way we have to go

I'm not looking for commitment written in stone

No everlasting promise no no

Let the river

Let the river run

Let the water

Let the water fall

Flow down off the mountain

Into the sea

Let the river run, run its course

We've stood this ground too long there's miles to make up

Oh it's way past the time we found out if we're truly good enough

There's no truth like the truth you dare to let yourself see

Better face it now there is nothing to fear

Everything to gain right in here

Let the river

Let the river run

Let the water

Let the water fall

Flow down off the mountain

Into the sea

Let the river run

Let the river run

Run its course

Let the river

Let the river run

Let the water

Let the water fall

Flow down off the mountain

Into the sea

Let the river run

Let the river run

Let the water fall

Let the river run

Let the water fall
