I took a river and it wouldn't let go
I want you to stay and I want you to go
I took a river and the river was long and it goes on

I want to be there tonight
I want to get there but it's just out of sight
I took a river and felt so slight so hold on

so hold on
hold on
it goes on

I took a river and the river was long
I want you to stay course I want you to go
I took a river and the river was long and goes on

it goes on
ooh it goes on
it goes on
