Julia Fordham - River Lyrics
Hey you, pushing the riverWith the world there on your shouldersDon't you remember a single thingThe good book told you?Hey you, treading the waterWith your head dipping out of the cloudsSinking down, down, down, downWaving to the old crowdAnd they send these things to try usAnd try us they do (oh oh)Don't push the river, don't push the riverDon't push the river, let it carry youI know that I'm a fine oneTo be talking this wayI've been dragging the whole darn worldBehind me all dayNo-one said it would be easyAnd they never warned how hardAnd I've been licking brand new woundsAnd tending old scarsAnd they send these things to try usAnd try us they do (oh oh)Don't push the river, don't push the riverDon't push the river, let it carry youOver the endless troubles, over the trying timesThese are the words of wisdom from a restless mindDon't push the river, don't push the riverDon't push the river, let it carry youDon't push the river, don't push the riverDon't push the river, let it carry you
