River Runs Deep
We dreamed with a passion once upon a time
Thought that the rules did not apply
Now we stare through the window that we hide behind
& watch the parade that's passin' by
Underneath the deals we make
Crazy chances that we take
Past the glory that will fade away
Down the gauntlets that we run
Through the damage that's been done
There's a promise we must keep
Where the river runs so deep.
We took on the world and cut it down to size
As if there'd be no room for regrets
Now when we take the measure of our lives
Our daughters & sons assume the debts
When our hearts grow faint & weak, and there are
No words left to speak
There's a place where all the justice, and wisdom, and honour, of
True Love never sleeps . Down where the river runs so deep
Underneath the beds we made
Floods of tears that we have paid
Far beyond the stars that fade away
Down the gauntlets that we run
Past the damage we have done
There's a promise left to keep
Where the river runs
Where the river runs
Where the river runs so deep.
