Little River

I was running around town
Keeping my head down
Facing in the wrong direction

Always holding the camera
We'll never remember
Hiding from my brown complexion

I'm looking for love
Hoping for a chance to feel enough
Why does anyone pray?
Does it make it OK?

Little river
May it all wash over me
Little river flow
Can I hold things lightly?

Now it's time to get serious
Stop making a meal of it
I'm running in the same direction

I've gained a few years now
I've lost a few of title bouts
Standing with my heart intact

And not looking for love
I found somebody who makes me feel enough
And I never pray
Guess what nothing has changed

Little river
May it all wash over me
Little river flow
Can I hold things lightly?

Is it any wonder
I'm standing like a statue half the time?
Like it's me against the tide

It's now or never
Turn myself to water lose control
Float along the deep unknown

Little river
May it all wash over me
Little river flow
Water flow through me

Little river
May it all wash over me
Little river flow
Water flow through me

Little river
May it all wash over me
Little river flow
I try to hold all things lightly
