John Illsley - Let The River Flow. lyrics

rate me

A full moon tide sweeps in

To wash the sand to white

A fairytale keeps a child wide eyed at night

A golden band could bring such happiness

A dream of you and me

Or a heaven for times of loneliness.

Won't you take my hand at the picture show

I love to sit with you and Let the River Flow

Let the River Flow.

I hear a church bell ring

There's people searchin' for the Holy Ghost

But now our daily bread

Gets delivered like the morning post

Rock of Ages pass they pass

Like ships that dance by in the night

This dream keeps haunting me

Only to get shattered by the first morning light.

Won't you take my hand at the picture show

I love to sit with you and Let the River Flow

Let the River Flow.

Well it makes no sense to me

So close yet so far apart

A sailor lost at sea

With the promise from his lover's heart

Can't stop this circle of fear

I'm like a priest whose confessing alone

At the end of the street a dark man appears

And cuts me right through to the bone.

Won't you take my hand at the picture show

So good to sit with you and Let the River Flow

Let the River Flow.
