The River Lyrics

Tim Buckley The River

I live by the river and I hide my house away
Then just like the river, I can change my ways
Oh, if you come to love me, you'll stay forever
Inside my heart, inside my dreams
And time will fade, in time we'll love

In the street we walk as beggars, in the alley, faithless kings
Ah, but it's the truth of life that chains us in between
Those lost moments we steal to keep our love alive
And our prize, so tired after all the pain
And time will fade, in time we'll love

I live by the river and I hide my house away
Then just like the river, I can change my ways
Oh, if you come to love me, you'll stay forever
Inside my heart, inside my dreams
And time will fade, in time we'll love
