The River Lyrics by Gnoss

The Light of the Moon

2021

[Verse 1]
There's a girl I wish I knew better
Spends her spring growing sunflowers
Summer comes, she gives them away
Knows she can always grow them back again
There's a conversation she's tried
To keep in the forefront of my mind
Saying, "Hard rain doesn't mean the clouds will stay."
Knows I won't listen much anyway
I won't listen much anyway

[Chorus]
See the water
Feel the wind blow
The river never flows too slow
The river never flows too slow
See the water
Feel the wind blow
The rivеr never flows too slow
The rivеr never flows too slow

[Post-Chorus]
See the water
Feel the wind blow

[Verse 2]
We go out to the forest
When everybody else is asleep
Lay low between the evergreens
Pine needles underneath our feet
There's a road, it winds round the coast
And a bridge out to the islands
Thought we'd end the year out here, the moon so near
I guess there's always next year
There's always next year

[Chorus]
See the water
Feel the wind blow
The river never flows too slow
The river never flows too slow
See the water
Feel the wind blow
The river never flows too slow
The river never flows too slow

[Outro]
Saying, "Hard rain doesn't mean the clouds will stay."
