Let The River In

The coldest night came in the spring The final frost was laid again We draft the roof, froze the shoots, killed the flowers And stole the colour from the sun Oh, let the river in, burst the dams, and start again Oh, let the river in, the will of men can't hold it in Oh, let the river in, as the blood beneath my skin Let the river in, nature plays, nature wins You held on to my hands like a vice You turn the screw, turn them right But there's a point, there's a limit where we break The current finds the quickest way So let the river in, burst the dams, and start again Oh, let the river in, the will of men can't hold it in Oh, let the river in, as the blood beneath my skin Let the river in, nature plays, nature wins (I hear the breaking of bricks and walls) (I feel the rhythm of the water) I hear the breaking of bricks and walls I feel the rhythm of the water Oh, let the river in, burst the dams, and start again Oh, let the river in, the will of men can't hold it in Oh, let the river in, as the blood beneath my skin Oh, let the river in, nature plays, nature wins So let the river in, burst the dams, and start again Oh, let the river in, the will of men can't hold it in Oh, let the river in, as the blood beneath my skin Oh, let the river in, nature plays, nature wins
