John Illsley - Let the River Flow lyrics
[John Illsley - Let the River Flow lyrics]
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 haven 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 searching for the Holy Ghost
But now our daily bread
Ooh, it 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
I can't stop this circle of fear
Ooh, I'm like a priest who's confessing alone
At the end of the street a dark man appears
And he 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
And let the river flow
And let the river flow
And let the river flow
And let the river flow
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 haven 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 searching for the Holy Ghost
But now our daily bread
Ooh, it 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
I can't stop this circle of fear
Ooh, I'm like a priest who's confessing alone
At the end of the street a dark man appears
And he 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
And let the river flow
And let the river flow
And let the river flow
And let the river flow
