river - Izzy Stradlin

Money flowed like a river

And it all went to the sea

And the tide came rolling back

I saw what I had in a dream

And the wind started howling

And the sand came through the trees

And as fast as it had started

It had come back to a breeze

It all comes right back, you see

And when it does then it will be

Life flows like a river

And we all end up at sea

When the tide comes rolling in

Then your life comes up to be seen

And it’s short you remember

Forget where you’ve been

But as long as you had good times

You can sure remember this

It all comes right back, you see

And when it does then it will be

It all seems too short for me

And when it’s done then it shall be

You can run like a river

Till you end up in the sea

And you run till night is black

And keep on going in your dream

And you know all the long while

It’s the journey that you seek

It’s the miles of moving forward

With the wind beneath your wings

Yes, it all comes back, you see

Yes, it all comes back, you see

Yes, it all comes back, you see

It all comes on back, you see
