I Can Hear the River Songtext
von Joe Cocker

It′s so cold on this balancing beam
I lose my breath each time I scream
All the time that it takes isn't clear
I simply wish that you were here

I must be in love with you
Be in love with you
Be in love with you
I must be in love with you

I can hear the river
I can see the water
I don′t feel so lonely
That I'm near the river

On the night like tonight in the park
I sit alone out in the dark
On the days I've been reaping for you
It seems that water must break through

I must be in love with you
Yes, be in love with you


(I can hear the river) I can hear the river
(I can see the water) I can see the water
I don′t feel so lonely
When I′m near the river
(I can see the bridges) I see the bridges
(I can feel the morning) I can feel the morning
I can almost touch you
When I'm near the river

Be in love with you

(I can hear the river) I can hear the river
(I can see the water) Yes, see the water
I don′t feel so lonely
When I'm near the river
(I can see the bridges)
(I can feel the morning) I feel the morning
I can almost touch your hand
When I′m near the river

(I can hear the river)
(I can see the water)
I don't feel so lonely
When I′m near the river
I can see the bridges
I can feel the morning
I can almost touch you
When I'm near the river


I can hear the river (I see the bridges)
I can see the water (I feel the morning)
I can almost touch you
