River - The Boxer Rebellion

Change direction

Take me to golden sands

Surrender my worries to an unseen promised land

Wish I’d sheltered my blessings

Even a drunken sore head

Even idle lovers

Who I know wish I was dead

And I used to sit by the river

Hoping one day it would lead me to the sea

And I used to sit by the river

Knowing one day it would lead me to my dreams

Fear of sadness

Fear of a broken heart

I held back on a gamble

I assumed would only fall apart

And I used to sit by the river

Hoping one day it would lead me to the sea

And I used to sit by the river

Knowing one day it would lead me to my dreams

Can you reach me?

Can you reach me?

And I used to sit by the river

Hoping one day it would lead me to the sea

And I used to sit by the river

Knowing one day it would lead me to my dreams

Knowing one day it would lead me to my dreams

Knowing one day it would lead me to my dreams

Knowing one day it would lead me to my dreams
