Just Like A River Does Lyrics by Birdy

Piano Sketches

2020

[Verse 1]
I always cry on the train back home
Watchin' the world outside I used to know
As soon as I get there
I have to go
[Verse 2]
And the years go by, I don't even know where I've been
In the blink of an eye, could've all been a dream
Will I ever find somewhere
To call my own?
As soon as I get there
I have to go
[Chorus]
We're two hands meant to shape the land
Just like a river does, just like a river does
And now the day breaks and I have to go away
Run like a river does, on and on like a river does
[Verse 3]
And the landscape has changed since last I was here
Some people stay and some disappear
But I'll always remember
This part of me
And I can't help but wonder
How I ever leave
[Chorus]
We're two hands meant to shape the land
Just like a river does, just like a river does
Now the day breaks and I have to go away
Run like a river does, on and on like a river does
[Bridge]
Oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, woo
[Chorus]
We're two hands meant to shape the land
Just like a river does, just like a river does
Now the day breaks and I have to go away
Run like a river does, on and on like a river does
[Outro]
So I bottle the sound of the wind in the trees
Follow the salt in the air down to the sea
Just like a river does
Just like a river does
