The River (Acoustic Demo)

I could've sworn this was the way

Tell me again, why do we stay

On such a lonely, lonely, lonely road?

You'd never guess, I'll never know

But we're on the same side and it's gonna

Be a lonely, lonely, lonely road

If I follow you to the river

Send my blues out to the sea

Will you stay with me forever?

Will you chase me in my dreams?

If I throw it all in the river

And let the rhythm take the lead

Will it stay with you and never

Let you leave on me?

Ooh, I know, I know

Ooh, I know

You had a choice I couldn't make

And this is the last turn that you take

On a lonely, lonely, lonely road

Give me your hand, here is my heart

Where does it end? When do we start?

On a lonely, lonely, lonely road

If I follow you to the river

Send my blues out to the sea

Will you stay with me forever?

Will you chase me in my dreams?

If I throw it all in the river

And let the rhythm take the lead

Will it stay with you and never

Let you leave on me?

Ooh, I know, I know

Ooh, I know

I'm an echo in your shadow

In your shadow, I'm in too deep

In the river, your reflection

Is a promise you couldn't keep

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

I lost you here

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

I took you here

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

I lost you here

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

This isn't fair

Ah

Ooh-ah

Ooh-ah

Ooh-ah

If I follow you to the river

If I follow you to the river

If I follow you to the river

If I follow you to the river

Oh, the shadows go down so deep

Oh, if I follow you to the river

If I follow you to the river (If I ever take you there)

And your shadow

In the river, your reflection

Is a promise you couldn't keep

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

If I follow you to the river

If I follow you there (To the river)

In the river, your reflection (Oh, if I follow you to the river)

Is a promise you couldn't keep

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know (Oh, if I follow you to the river)

I lost you here

And your shadow

If I follow you to the river (If I follow)

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

I lost you here

I know, I know I lost you here
