Where the Rivers Run - Mjhanks, Mon RovÎa & Philip Bowen

We were young and so free World was at our feet We were invincible We thought we'd always be Playing music Going heart to heart I was thought that you win all I remember dancin' in the sun In the summers,life had just begun When I'm lonely that's where I return To where the rivers run We had fun,we had time We had fashion on our side We were unstoppable And never saw the signs Glasgow to London Travelin' town to town Nothing ever brougth us down I remember dancin' in the sun In the summers,life had just begun When I'm lonely that's where I return To where the rivers run Listen awhile,I think of you And wonder how you are I hope that time's been good to you I hope that all your dreams came true,'cause I remember dancin' in the sun In the summers,life had just begun When I'm lonely that's where I return To where the rivers run I remember dancin' in the sun In the summers,life had just begun When I'm lonely that's where I return To where the rivers run Where the rivers run

Till the rivers all run dry Till the sun falls from the sky Till life on earth is through I'll be needing you. I know sometimes you may wonder From little things I say and do But there's no need for you to wonder If I need you, 'cause I'll need you. Till the rivers all run dry Till the sun falls from the sky Till life on earth is through I'll be needing you. --- Instrumental --- Too many times I don't tell you Too many things get in the way And even though sometimes I hurt you Still you show me, in every way. Till the rivers all run dry Till the sun falls from the sky Till life on earth is through I'll be needing you...

Were apples still grow in november where blossoms still bloom from each tree where leaves are still green in november its then that our land will be free i wander her hills and her valleys and still through my sorrows i see a land that has never known freedom and only her rivers run free i drink to the death of her manhood those men who rather have died than to live in the cold chains of bondage to bring back there rights were denied oh were are u now when we need u what burns were the flame used to be are u gone like the snow of last winter and will only our rivers run free how sweet is the life but we're crying how mellow the wine but its dry how fragrent the rose but its dying how gentle the breeze but it sighs what good is in youth when its aging what joy is in eyes that cant see when theres sorrow in sunshine and flowers and still only our rivers run free

I am your Mother In my womb you've seen a universe Precious life, now I bring you into my world Fear, love and pain are your guides Can I provide a sanctuary To shield you from a world that preys Angels from heaven pray See your children through the day For knowing the coming Tomorrow's ways Demons await where the mighty rivers run Children, sail on Head for home Through the wild night, sail on... Mother will you keep me, hold me? Father, be there, strong for me Demons await where the mighty rivers run Children, sail on, sail on Holy Angels, rest on high For tomorrow, sanctify!

If it takes time I've tried to open up My own life To your skies Leads me on a search For some love That I had once But I lost touch 'Cause I'm always on my own I'm lonely to the bone And I wonder if I took flight If I tried Maybe I would land on your side But I'm always on my own mind But I'm always on my own Is it heartbreak Maybe innocence Or naivete Oh, not everything's about me Noticing from the outskirts Like a ghost town Feels like you're losing on your home ground Could somebody love me through August? 'Cause I'm always on my own I'm lonely to the bone And I wonder if I took flight If I tried Maybe I would land on your side But I'm always on my own mind (Will I ever get out of it?) But I'm always on my own (Will I ever get out of it?) Will I ever get out of it? Will I ever get out of it?

I wear a gold watch, handed down from my grandpa And I've been blue because it stopped tellin' time a week ago I took it in and this old man couldn't find the parts to fix it He said Son, I guess they just don't make em like that anymore My, oh my, does it ever get much better There always seems to be some pain in store Why oh why, can't the best things last forever I guess they just don't make 'em like they used to anymore I guess they just don't make 'em like they used to anymore The day they buried mamma it was snowing on the mountain I was fighting back the sadness through every note in every chord The tears were rolling down, but then I saw my grandpa smiling He said, Son I don't think they'll ever make em like her anymore My, oh my, does it ever get much better There always seems to be some pain in store Why oh why, can't the best things last forever I guess they just don't make 'em like they used to anymore I guess they just don't make 'em like they used to anymore I play a violin made by hand in the forties That old girl can sing the sweetest song you ever heard I can see them up there dancing, to the waltzes I am playing And I bet that they don't miss this old world too much, anymore And I bet that they don't miss this old world too much, anymore My, oh my, does it ever get much better There always seems to be some pain in store Why oh why, can't the best things last forever I guess they just don't make 'em like they used to anymore I guess they just don't make 'em like they used to anymore My, oh my, does it ever get much better There always seems to be some pain in store Why oh why, can't the best things last forever I guess they just don't make 'em like they used to anymore I guess they just don't make 'em like they used to anymore Anymore

I bet you're out there checking fences Bringing all the mail in Two fingers of bourbon Waiting for me to check-in When you go to sleep in our bed I hope you know you're in my head Pulling me a little closer Your lips kissing my shoulder You promising you'll hold me And love me when I'm old me And not a damn thing would change Even when I fly away You got both feet on the ground I'm on the moon up so high Shining down On a different town Just dreaming as big as the Texas sky But now I'm missing home While I'm out here on the road Ooh You've got a way with that lasso-o Pulling me back to El Paso I lost track of all the miles Sleeping in between the cities I can't forget your smile Cuz I got your picture with me So, even in this hotel bed You're the only thing in my head When I'm under bright lights It almost gets me too high Baby every word I sing about you Every word's the whole damn truth You got both feet on the ground I'm on the moon up so high Shining down On a different town Just dreaming as big as the Texas sky But now I'm missing home While I'm out here on the road Ooh You've got a way with that lasso-o Pulling me back to El Paso When I'm under bright lights It almost gets me too high Baby every word I sing about you Every word's the whole damn truth You got both feet on the ground I'm on the moon up so high Shining down On a different town Just dreaming as big as the Texas sky But now I'm missing home While I'm out here on the road Ooh You've got a way with that lasso-o Pulling me back to El Paso
