The River (Napster live) Songtext
von Toby Lightman

When the roads are closed
Do you know where you should be?
And when the lights are dim
Are you gonna come crying to me?
′Cause you're sitting there with your legs crossed
Looking so carefree
Do you think you can run away
From your so-called misery?

Oh, no
′Cause you know the tide ain't rolling in for you
The tide ain't rolling in for me

Are you gonna sink, are you gonna swim?
′Cause I′ll take you down to the river
Yes, I'll take you down to the river
Don′t you know I'll take you down to the river
But you′re going in


Now the choice is yours
Are you in or are you gonna back out?
Well, this is your life, baby
Are you gonna take a look around?
'Cause you seem to think that all your chances
Will chase you down
I′m telling you to open up your eyes
And take those feet off the ground

Oh, no
'Cause you know the tide ain't rolling in for you
The tide ain′t rolling in for me

Are you gonna sink, are you gonna swim?
′Cause I'll take you down to the river
Yes, I′ll take you down to the river
Don't you know I′ll take you down to the river
But you're going in

Oh, you′re going in

When the roads are closed
Do you know where you should be?
Oh, and when the lights are dim
Are you gonna come crying to me?
'Cause you know the tide ain't rolling in for you
The tide ain′t rolling in for me, no


Are you gonna sink, are you gonna swim?
′Cause I'll take you down to the river
Yes, I′ll take you down to the river
Don't you know I′ll take you down to the river
But you're going in
