Tried to keep you close to me, but life got in between
Tried to square not being there, but think that I should have been

Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes, hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide, hold back the river, hold back

Once upon a different life, we rode our bikes into the sky
But now we crawl against the tide, those distant days are flashing by

Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes, hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide, hold back the river, hold back
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes, hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide, hold back the river, hold back

Ooh ho, oho, oho, oho, oho, oh ooh
Lonely water, lonely water won’t you let us wander, let us hold each other
Lonely water, lonely water won’t you let us wander, let us hold each other

Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes, hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side, hold back the river, hold back
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes, hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side, hold back the river, ooh

Lonely water, lonely water won’t you let us wander, let us hold each other
Lonely water, lonely water won’t you let us wander, let us hold each other
Lonely water, lonely water won’t you let us wander, let us hold each other
Lonely water, lonely water won’t you let us wander, let us hold each other
