Karine Polwart - Rivers Run lyrics

rate me

This weary Earth we walk upon

She will endure when we are gone

While kingdoms come and kingdoms go

Rivers run and rivers flow

You know I don't believe it's true

That in this world there's nothing new

For darling you have just begun

Rivers flow and rivers run

And if those rivers should ever run dry

Somewhere the rain will still fall,

Will still fall from the sky

When I'm beguiled by the fear

That darker days are drawing near

My darling, you seduce the sun

Rivers flow and rivers run

And if the rivers.

This wounded Earth we walk upon

She will endure when we are gone

But still I pray that you may know

How rivers run and rivers flow

And if the rivers.

So I cross my heart and hope to live

Just long enough that I can give

It all to you, my darling one

Rivers flow and rivers run
