She's a river lyrics

Shadow let go

There's something you should know

I just found my new direction

And I hope you like the key

Like the air that led me to it

She's like the wind that sucked me through it

She's a river and she's turning there in front of me

Stand back - get back

She'll paint your blue skies black

She gives bullet proof protection

Got a resurrection feel

When I'm scared, and 'bout to lose

She gives me travelling shoes

She's a river and she's turning in front of me

And I go blind

Wasting my time

While the rivers in front of me

That's where I'm goin' to be

Shine on, get on

Twilight from dusk to dawn

She's the spirit of creation

She's the last chance guarantee

Got a myriad of poses

Sweet miracles and roses

She's a river and she's turning in front of me

'Cause when I find

My state of mind

The river's in front of me

They say that every heaven's got a thousand rooms

So take me on that freedom ride

My heart is like a hunter's in the silent moon

My nerves just feel electrified

Meet me on the staircase

Outside a darkened room

Light me like a naked flame

The voice of Mother Nature states

All things must pass

And nothing can remain

They say that every heaven's got a thousand rooms

So take me on that freedom ride

You raise me like a building to the very top

Rush me to the end of time

You fill me full of danger

You give me future shock

Then you leave me wasted dying

And I go blind

Wasting my time

The river's in front of me
