All Roads To The River Lyrics

Janis Ian All Roads To The River

I AM MASTER AND SLAVE
I AM SUNLIGHT AND SHADOW
I AM ALL ROADS TO THE RIVER
I AM LOST, I AM SAVED
I AM BELOVED AND BETRAYED
ALL ROADS TO THE RIVER

AND THE RIVER RUNS WIDE
THE RIVER RUNS DEEP
I SPIT IN THE EYE OF SAFE COMPANY
WHEN I DIVE RIGHT DOWN
TO THE UNDERTOW
THE DEEPER I DROWN,
THE HIGHER I GO

I AM WHISPERING DREAMS
I AM HOWLING REVOLUTIONS
ALL ROADS TO THE RIVER
I AM VALENTINE SWEET
I AM EVERY MOTHER’S NIGHTMARE
I AM ALL ROADS TO THE RIVER

THE RIVER RUNS WIDE
THE RIVER RUNS DEEP
I SPIT IN THE EYE OF SAFE COMPANY
WHEN I DIVE RIGHT DOWN
TO THE UNDERTOW
THE DEEPER I DROWN,
THE HIGHER I GO

I DREAM OF STILL WATERS
SILENT AND CLEAR
BUT I RUN FOR THE THUNDER
THAT’LL DROWN MY FEAR
(GUITAR SOLO)

THE RIVER RUNS WIDE
THE RIVER RUNS DEEP
I SPIT IN THE EYE OF SAFE COMPANY
WHEN I DIVE RIGHT DOWN
TO THE UNDERTOW
THE DEEPER I DROWN,
THE HIGHER I GO
