The River Songtext
von Chris Cheney

I wake up in the morning
With the dream still in my head
The river will be calling
When the night comes ′round again

And I don't know why
But when I′m near it
In the still of the night
I fear it
It's like the edge of a knife
In the mirror
And when I close my eyes
Things get clearer
Now I'm standing by the river
With all that I can′t change


Oh, and when the day turns to night
I′ll meet you by the river
When the end has arrived
I'll meet you by the river
Where nothing ever dies
It just gets rearranged

Maybe it′s something in the weather
Or something in my coffee beans
'Cause I just can′t shake this feeling
The river's in control of me

And I don′t know why
But when I'm near it
In the still of the night
I fear it
It's like the edge of a knife
I can feel it
Reflected in my life
Deep within my mind
Now I′m standing by the river
With all that I can′t change


Oh, and when the day turns to night
I'll meet you by the river
When the end has arrived
I′ll meet you by the river
Where nothing ever dies
It just gets rearranged

Don't wait for me now
If you wanna go
Take the leap now
Don′t wait for me now

And when the day turns to night
I'll meet you by the river
When the end has arrived
I′ll meet you by the river
Where nothing ever dies
It just gets rearranged

I'll meet you by the river
But you don't know why
I′ll meet you by the river
And you don′t know why
I'll meet you by the river
And when the day turns to night
I′ll meet you by the river
And when the day turns to night
I'll meet you by the river
