River

Lyrics

[Verse] I saw your face in my dream last night You had just come from the water, you were wet and laughing and your eyes were so bright Like the stars behind the sky Shining and illuminating my life But then I woke And I remembered [Chorus] And oh, how I wish you could be with me now and Oh, how Why won't the time just flow away like a river Flowing swiftly down From the mountains to the stone? But time just takes its time To bring you back to me [Verse] I know that old saying "absence makes the heart grow fonder," But when I have time to be alone my heart aches and my mind, it wanders And you – what are you doing at this moment? Maybe are you staring at the moon like me? Or are you sleeping? Well, I don't know [Chorus] And oh, how I wish you could be with me now and Oh, how Why won't the time just flow away like a river Flowing swiftly down From the mountains to the stone? But time just takes its time To bring you back to me [Verse] You are in my head all the time Every waking moment you just hover round the edge of my mind Like a moth around a flame Sometimes I want to shout out your name and how I miss you How I miss you [Chorus] And oh, how I wish you could be with me now and Oh, how Why won't the time just flow away like a river Flowing swiftly down From the mountains to the stone? But time just takes its time To bring you back to me To bring you back to me To bring you back to me
