Lyrics
The River
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.
We are strangers to who we used to be
Endless changes that outweigh you and me
And I remember when we were the best of friends
Oh, take me back
Back to the river
Oh, take me now
Back to the river
We were dreamers heading for the city lights
There's no rivers for the days that have gone on by
Still, I remember when we were the best of friends
Oh, take me back
Back to the river
Oh, take me now
Back to the river
'Cause I remember the times we had
Oh, now brother it makes me sad
To think of you now
To think of you now
To think of you now
Oh, take me back
Back to the river
Oh, take me now
Back to the river
Back to the river
