Hold Back the River

[Verse 1]

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 sit by your side

Hold back the river, hold back

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]

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 thе river so I

Can stop for a minute and sit by your side

Hold back thе river, hold back

[Chorus]

Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes

Hold back the river so I

Can stop for a minute and sit by your side

Hold back the river, hold back

[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 sit by your side

Hold back the river, hold back

[Chorus]

Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes

Hold back the river so I

Can stop for a minute and sit by your side

Hold back the river, hold back
