De River

[Verse]
De river runs
It don't look back
A silver thread through the muddy track
Whispers stories to the stones
It ain't lonely
But it's alone

[Chorus]
De river
De river
It never stays
Washing yesterdays away
De river
De river
Wild and free
It ain't you
It ain't me

[Verse 2]
I threw a wish
It sank like lead
The current laughed
Left it for dead
Fish don’t care
Clouds don’t cry
De river just watches the world slide by

[Prechorus]
No chains
No walls
It don’t answer when you call

[Chorus]
De river
De river
It never stays
Washing yesterdays away
De river
De river
Wild and free
It ain't you
It ain't me

[Bridge]
It swallows the moon
Spits out the sun
Knows every secret
Tells no one
Its hands are cold
Its heart is deep
It don’t love
It don’t weep
