River Song

Went down to the river’s edge and built myself a dream

Right there where things grow wild and the waters gleam

Then the rain fell, the river swelled and washed the whole damn thing away

Guess I gotta build again, better start today

There really ain’t a reason and it’s so hard to explain

For every piece of pleasure there’s a dosing of some pain

I can see the beauty of that river in my mind

Though sometimes it’s dark and deep when the sun don’t shineChorus:

Roll, roll, roll

Let the river roll

As long as it don’t flow on over me

Somewhere on an island on some far off distant shore

Is the very sea shell I’ve been searching for

I held it for a moment once, it slipped into the tide

I’ve been searching ever since at every waterside (chorus)

Woman of my vision you’re the keeper of my soul

If I ever lost you girl I’d lose some control

Like that river keeps on running ‘til it dies out in the sound

Gotta keep moving baby can’t let nothing slow you down .... (chorus)
