ONLY THE RIVER. (Song lyric)

ONLY THE RIVER.

Entering upon, a romantic liaison,
Best keep it confidential for a while.
For your choice is strange
and there’s a little bit of shame,
so we do it in secret
but we do it with style.

Images and words, reflect a world
turned inside out by an intimate dream.
Intrigued by the thrill
of the hunt yet still,
water won’t flow too fast upstream.

Only the river runs free these days, only the mountains stand tall,
only the wind blows cool these days, only you can break my fall.
Only the river runs free these days, only the rain washes clean
only lovers have the courage to chase after all their wildest dreams.

Precious secret. Willing captive,
only ever whispers for release.
Rivers and wind, mountains and rain
The storm sits coiled beneath the peace.

The sound we both hear
is the river rushing near,
but only you see calm in the foam.
The view we don’t see
is a future for you me,
so we turn our backs and head for home.

There’s a booth in the corner,
where a guru has the answer
he blesses me with grace, Hail Mary and a prayer.
Like the mountain stand tall,
like the wind blow cool,
wash clean, run free and don’t be scared.

Only the river runs free these days, only the mountains stand tall, etc.
