The River Lyrics

The River lyrics

When the roads are closed

Do you know where you should be? 

When the lights are dim

Are you going to come crying to me? 



'Cause you're sitting there

With your legs crossed

Looking so carefree... 

Do you tihnk you can run away

From your so-called misery?



[Chorus:]

Cause you know the

Tide ain't rollin' in for you 

The tide ain't rollin' in for me 

Are you going to sink? 

Are you going to swim? 

Because I'll take you down to the river... 

But you're going in.



Now the choice is yours

Are you in or are you going to back out? 

Well this is your life baby

Are you going to take a look around? 



'Cause you seem to think that all

Your chances will chase you down

I'm telling you to open up your eyes

And take those feet off the ground.



[Chorus]



Now the roads are closed

Do you know where you should be? 

When the lights are dim

Are you going to come crying to me?



[Chorus]
