Wild River - Beverley Knight

There are days I hold my breath

So I stop, I’m screaming out

At the things that people say

When they think no one’s about

Looking back at staring eyes

See the fear inside their hearts

Wonder if they realize

How it tears my soul apart

Heaven knows I’ve done my best

It’s all anyone can do

Every day is like a test

Measuring the ones that knew you

There are nights I fall asleep

And I drift on dreamless foam

Where the water’s warm and deep

Takes me where I want to go

Wild river

Take me home

I need to find my place

Where I belong

Wild river

Take me home

To a land where I’m embraced

Where I’m not alone

Take me to the open air

Where there’s room for all to breathe

I can walk without a care

Every sigh is my relief

How I long to hear the phrase

«How you doing?

Come on in»

Where somebody knows your face

And the smile is genuine

Why’s it so hard to find,

In a city full of clocks

Anybody with the time

To save you from your?

There are nights I fall asleep

And the dream’s so real to me

'Cause the water’s warm and deep

Takes me to where I am free

Wild river

Take me home

I need to find my place

Where I belong

Wild river

Take me home

To a land where I’m embraced

Where I’m not alone

Oh, no

Oh, no

Oh…

Oh, wild (wild) river (river)

Take me home

I need to find my place

Where I belong

Wild river

Take me home

To a land where I’m embraced

Where I’m not alone

Oh, no

Oh, no
