Lyrics for River Man

I see your eyes light up like fire It's medicine to me But as the hunted live their lives You're keeping out of reach So I keep running, falling Till I reach the water Run with me, holyman When I reach out I find I'm Standing right beside her Now we're living blessed with All the thunder in the world Should you ask me to come home To wake up from the sleep Like a boat inside a storm Is there no hope for me? So I keep running, falling Wade into the water Run with me, rivermanc But when I reach out I find I'm Standing right beside her Now we're living blessed with All the thunder in the world So I keep running, falling Till I reach the water Run with me, holyman An' when I reach out I find I'm Standing right beside her Now we're living blessed with All the thunder in the world Blessed with all the thunder in the world Blessed with all the thunder in the world Blessed with all the thunder in the world All the thunder in the world Blessed with all the thunder in the world
