The River Ran Slow

The River Ran Slow

We thought we know everything

Everyday was a spring

We didn't know pain, we didn't know change

But a change was to come

Yes, a change was to come

It came with a lie

It came from the sky

It came with a bomb

But how would we tell?

How could we know?

When our hearts were young

And the river ran slow

Watching darkening skies

Through rose coloured eyes

Hearing the sound that was shaking the ground

Well a pen or a gun

When all said and done

It comes to the same

When it comes to the blame

So why did we have to run

But how would we tell?

How could we know?

When our hearts were young

And the river ran slow

Flow sweet river flow

And blow gentle winds

Sway sweet willows-o

When will we dream again?

But how would we tell?

How could we know?

When our hearts were young

And the river ran slow

When our hearts were young

And the river ran slow
