The River Songtext
von Fredi Nest
The River Songtext
You know a dream is like a river
Ever changing as it flows
And a dreamer′s just a vessel
That must follow where it goes
Trying to learn from what's behind you
And never knowing what′s in store
Makes each day a constant battle
Just to stay between the shores
And I will sail my vessel
Till the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
Till the river runs dry
Too many times we stand aside
And let the waters slip away
So what we put off till tomorrow
Has now become today
So don't you sit upon the shoreline
And say you′re satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance the tide
Yes I will sail my vessel
Till the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I′ll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
Till the river runs dry
And there's bound to be rough waters
And I know I′ll take some falls
But with the good Lord as my captain
I can make it through them all
Yes I will sail my vessel
Till the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
Till the river runs dry
Yes I will sail my vessel
Till the river runs dry
Till the river runs dry
Ever changing as it flows
And a dreamer′s just a vessel
That must follow where it goes
Trying to learn from what's behind you
And never knowing what′s in store
Makes each day a constant battle
Just to stay between the shores
And I will sail my vessel
Till the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
Till the river runs dry
Too many times we stand aside
And let the waters slip away
So what we put off till tomorrow
Has now become today
So don't you sit upon the shoreline
And say you′re satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance the tide
Yes I will sail my vessel
Till the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I′ll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
Till the river runs dry
And there's bound to be rough waters
And I know I′ll take some falls
But with the good Lord as my captain
I can make it through them all
Yes I will sail my vessel
Till the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
Till the river runs dry
Yes I will sail my vessel
Till the river runs dry
Till the river runs dry
