Little Black Book movie - Let the River Run lyrics

rate me

Song by Carly Simon<br /><br>

We're coming to the edge,<br>

Running on the water,<br>

Coming through the fog,<br>

Your sons and daughters.<br>

<br>

Let the river run,<br>

Let all the dreamers<br>

Wake the nation.<br>

Come, the New Jerusalem.<br>

<br>

Silver cities rise,<br>

The morning lights<br>

The streets that meet them,<br>

And sirens call them on<br>

With a song.<br>

<br>

It's asking for the taking.<br>

Trembling, shaking.<br>

Oh, my heart is aching.<br>

<br>

We're coming to the edge,<br>

Running on the water,<br>

Coming through the fog,<br>

Your sons and daughters.<br>

<br>

We the great and small<br>

Stand on a star<br>

And blaze a trail of desire<br>

Through the dark'ning dawn.<br>

<br>

It's asking for the taking.<br>

Come run with me now,<br>

The sky is the color of blue<br>

You've never even seen<br>

In the eyes of your lover.<br>

<br>

Oh, my heart is aching.<br>

We're coming to the edge,<br>

Running on the water,<br>

Coming through the fog,<br>

Your sons and daughters.<br>

<br>

It's asking for the taking.<br>

Trembling, shaking.<br>

Oh, my heart is aching.<br>

<br>

We're coming to the edge,<br>

Running on the water,<br>

Coming through the fog,<br>

Your sons and daughters.<br>

<br>

Let the river run,<br>

Let all the dreamers<br>

Wake the nation.<br>

Come, the New Jerusalem.<br>

<br>
