The River Still

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's been a long day A long day, and I'm tired It's been a long day And now it's over I'm on my way home Yes, I'm on my way home The river still [Verse 2] And on my way home I thought of the times that had past All alone on way home And all I could think of were times gone by Yes, the times gone by Soon we're gone [Chorus] Sometimes, the river runs high Sometimes, the river runs low Sometimes, the river runs fast Sometimes, the river runs slow [Verse 3] Sweat's pouring down I roll up my sleeves, rub my eyes And avoid the shortcut through the tall trees Take the long way home Take the long way home Soon you're gone [Chorus] Sometimes, the river runs high Sometimes, the river runs low Sometimes, the river runs fast Sometimes, the river runs slow [Verse 4] But it's been a long day A long day, and I'm tired It's been a long day And now it's over I'm on my way home Yes, I'm on my way home The river still [Instrumental] [Silence] [Verse 5] I want your lips so honey Four lane I drop down to my knees to plead I beg for this in faithful silence No, nothing's ever as it seems [Chorus] And when you finally take the bite, you're gonna see what I mean [Verse 6] Drop our words from your mouth And I just go in to be slain A fool is stepping into a noose No, nothing's ever as it seems [Chorus] And when you finally take the bite, you're gonna see what I mean [Verse 7] 'Cause you're apple red and shiny She holds it out, smiling at me Can you resist what tempts you? Are you and other sluggards sleeping? [Chorus] When you finally take the bite, you're gonna see what I mean
