Like a Mighty River - St. Paul & The Broken Bones

As years are passing by Silence becomes your friend You see the world in a different way Don't be afraid of getting old Life's still full of joy And the beauty of the past is rejoicing your mind When days are getting short And winter comes along Your life slows down and down Like a river is getting wide The worlds have lost their voice You remember your morning flowing to the endless sea When days are getting short And winter comes along Your life slows down and down Like a river is getting wide The worlds have lost their voice You remember your morning flowing to the endless sea Life's like a river in the mountain Life's like a sea without end Life's like a river in the mountain Life's like a sea without end Life's like a river in the mountain Life's like a sea without end Life's like a river in the mountain Life's like a sea without end

(One, two, three, four) Was a long Monday, Tuesday gone Wrote it down in a song Paradise lost but paradise found It all comes back around You'll go on, on, on, on Just like the river, you'll go on And you'll go on, on, on, on, mm Just like the river, you'll go on Liberated eyes and a Buddha smile All the class, all the style Now you're on a highway, windows rolled down Knowing just where you're bound And you'll go on, on, on, on Just like the river, you'll go on And you'll go on, on, on, on (mm) Just like the river, you'll go on Another reason, going on by Like a cloud in the sky (mm) And like the world you went around Knowing life goes up and down And goes on It goes on, on, on, on Just like a river, it goes on And it goes on, on, on, on, mm Just like a river, it goes on You'll go on, on, on, on (mm) Just like the river, you'll go on You'll go on, on, on, on Just like the river, you'll go on

Dear mother the struggle is over now And your house is up for sale We divided your railway watches Between the four of us I fought over the pearls With the other girls But it was all a metaphor For what was wrong with us As the room is emptying out Your face so young comes into view And on the back porch is a well-worn step And a pool of light you can walk into I'll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you, forever Like a river... Can you clear up the mystery of the Sphinx? Do you know any more about God? Are you dancing with Benjamin Franklin On the face of the moon? Have you reconciled with Dad? Does the rain still make you sad? Last night I swear I could feel you Moving through my room And I thought you touched my feet I so wanted it to be true In my theater there is a stage And a footlight you can step into... I'll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you, forever Like a river... In the river I know I will find the key And your voice will rise like the spray In the moment of knowing The tide will wash away my doubt 'Cause you're already home Making it nice for when I come home Like the way I find my bed turned down Coming in from a late night out. Please keep reminding me Of what in my soul I know is true Come in my boat, there's a seat beside me And two or three stars we can gaze into... I'll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you forever Like a river... I'll never leave, always just a dream away A star that's always watching Never turn away We'll never leave, always just a thought away A candle always burning Never turn away The moon will hide, the tree will bend I'm right beside you I'll never turn away

I woke up thinking you were still here My hands shaking with regret I've held this dream for such a long long time And I wanna get up To the rhythm of a wild, to the rhythm of a wild heart That beats, that beats like a rolling drum I saw you standing on the corner I saw you standing on your own And I get the feeling that it's, it's all a dream And I wanna get up To the rhythm of a wild, to the rhythm of a wild heart That beats, that beats like a drum When I fall asleep I can see your face What I lost in you I will not replace And I could run away, I could let them down But I will remember your light Your light it follows me in darkness I'm trying hard but I can't win And I've played the victim for a long long time And I wanna grow up From the rhythm a young, from the rhythm of a younger heart It leads just like a river runs That night I sent over the parkway The summer's gone and I'm alone And I get the feeling that you're somewhere close And I wanna get up To the rhythm of your wild, to the rhythm of your wild heart It beats, been beating since you've gone When I fall asleep I can see your face What I lost in you I will not replace And I could run away, I could let them down But I will remember When I fall asleep I can see your face What I lost in you I will not replace And I could run away, I could let them down And I know you're gone but still I will remember your light I will remember I will remember I will remember I will remember And if you see me in the darkness I hope you know I'm not alone I carry you with every breath I take I won't let up, I won't let up Until the wind is gone

Na na na na na I'm going to take a rocket swing all around the milky way There ain't no view better than this I can feel it now your body taking over me Red eyes green skin make me do things I'm just trying love you ain't nobody above you Is there pie in the sky Is it midnight on the earth Is the sea painted white While there's blood in the dirt Is there pain in the light Have monsters come to fight I can't kill them off no it ain't worth the cost Na na na na na Those glowing eyes starting right back at me I can't resist the life that you give me I can hear you now take me to your galaxy We ain't got time to lose control now I'm just trying love you ain't nobody above you Is there pie in the sky Is it midnight on the earth Is the sea painted white While there's blood in the dirt Is there pain in the light Have monsters come to fight I can't kill them off no it ain't worth the cost Na na na na na

Devil with the red eyes Devil with the sharp teeth Devil in the details Devil with the red eyes Devil with the sharp teeth Devil in the details Gentle kisses from a stranger Who knew my name before I let it stumble from the back to the front of my tongue Devil with the red eyes Devil with the sharp teeth Devil in the details Devil with the red eyes Devil with the sharp teeth Devil in the details Beige on a dark, stormy noon Sand lost in a clear-colored dune Tide falls to the wave of your hand Dare me to fight for the land Stuck in the snow where nothing ever seems to change, oh Jupiter, don't you know my name? Devil with the red eyes Devil with the sharp teeth Devil in the details Devil with the red eyes Devil with the sharp teeth Devil in the details Devil with the red eyes Devil with the sharp teeth Devil in the details Devil with the red eyes Devil with the sharp teeth Devil in the details

It was an Easter night When the storms rolled through Tornado took my house Maybe that's what God's about I don't have a job to pay my bills Baby on the way, maybe to the end of the world Did you hear the church bells ringing through the tornado winds? Did you hear the sirens singing, shelter was where you should go? Did you hear the doctors tell us the world is gonna die? I don't think I like this very much It was a Christmas night when I found the Lord In a pack of cigarettes I guess we're gonna die from something soon Baby on the way, maybe to the end of the world Did you hear the church bells ringing through the tornado winds? Did you hear the sirens singing, shelter was where you should go? Did you hear the doctors tell us the world is gonna die? I don't think I like this very much Did you hear the church bells ringing through the tornado winds? Did you hear the sirens singing, shelter was where you should go? Did you hear the doctors tell us the world is gonna die? I don't think I like this very much I don't think I like this very much I don't think I like this very much
