[Verse]
Tried to keep you close to me,
But life got in between
Tried to square not being there
But think that I should have been
[Chorus]
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back
[Verse]
Once upon a different life
We rode our bikes into the sky
But now we crawl against the tide
Those distant days are flashing by
[Chorus]
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold back
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back
[Interlude]
Ooh oho, oho, oho,
Oho, oho, ohooh
[Bridge]
Lonely water, lonely water won't you let us wander
Let us hold each other
Lonely water, lonely water won't you let us wander
Let us hold each other
[Chorus]
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold back
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, ooh
[Bridge] х2
Lonely water, lonely water won't you let us wander
Let us hold each other
Lonely water, lonely water won't you let us wander
Let us hold each other
[Outro]
