Paul Simon - Peace Like a River lyrics
[Paul Simon - Peace Like a River lyrics]
Oh, peace like a river ran through the city
Long past the midnight curfew
We sat starry-eyed oh, we were satisfied
Oh, and I remember misinformation followed
Us like a plague
Nobody knew from time to time
If the plans were changed
Oh, oh, oh, if the plans were changed
You can beat us with wires
You can beat us with chains
You can run out your rules
But you know you can’t
Outrun the history train
I‘ve seen a glorious day, ahee hee
Oh, four in the morning I woke
Up from out of my dreams
Nowhere to go but back to
Sleep but I’m reconciled
Oh, oh, oh, I’m gonna be up for a while
Oh, oh, oh, I’m gonna be up for a while
Oh, oh, oh, I’m gonna be up for a while
Long past the midnight curfew
We sat starry-eyed oh, we were satisfied
Oh, and I remember misinformation followed
Us like a plague
Nobody knew from time to time
If the plans were changed
Oh, oh, oh, if the plans were changed
You can beat us with wires
You can beat us with chains
You can run out your rules
But you know you can’t
Outrun the history train
I‘ve seen a glorious day, ahee hee
Oh, four in the morning I woke
Up from out of my dreams
Nowhere to go but back to
Sleep but I’m reconciled
Oh, oh, oh, I’m gonna be up for a while
Oh, oh, oh, I’m gonna be up for a while
Oh, oh, oh, I’m gonna be up for a while
