Flowing Rivers

(written by Andy Gibb) The stage is set another show must go on The spotlight's burning down into my face The drummer sits up high upon his rostrum Guitarists play each other face to face And when it's over, I'll stop and wonder And never understand 'cause leaving this was never in my plans And when I'm playing all I see is things you'll never find Flowing rivers passing through my mind Deceiving and receiving was my pastime to every girl who liked my written lines They'd think that any moment I'd be their guy But crying never justified my lies, oh no And next time 'round will be the same They never understand that hurting them was never in my plans My songs will slow like passing clouds Something in each line Flowing rivers passing through my mind I've got to go, I've finished what I came for Playing every city, state to state Singing every town that learned to like me Modest payments paid for what I ate Ah, you're standing there, tears in your eyes You once called me a man And loving you was never in my plans We'll go together, you and I, till we both find Flowing rivers passing through my mind We'll go together, you and I, till we both find Flowing rivers passing through my mind
