Rich Mullins - The River Lyrics
Another hour deeper in the nightAnother mile farther down the roadA man can drive as hard as he can driveAnd never get as far as his heart was meant to goSometimes when you look up in the skyYou think we might be closer than you knowAnother tune forms in my headMore harmonies, more empty wordsOh, I could play these songs 'til I was deadAnd never approach the sound that I once heardI remember when I was just a kidListening in the skyBelieving that the wind would stirAnd I know the river is deepI found out that the currents are trickyAnd I know the river is wideAnd oh the currents are strongAnd I may lose every dreamI dreamt that I could carry with meBut I have failed so many timesAnd You've never let me fall down aloneMaybe she could come to WichitaAnd maybe we could borrow Beaker's bikeWe'd let the road wind tie our hair in knotsLet the speed and the freedom untangle the liesMaybe fear can vanish before loveOh God, don't let this love be denied'Cause I know the river is deepI found out that the currents are trickyAnd I know that the river is wideAnd oh, the currents are strongAnd I could lose every dreamI dreamt that I could carry with meOh, but I will reach the other sidePlease don't let me have to wait too longAnother hour deeper in the nightAnother mile farther down the roadWe could be closer than you know
