River Lyrics by Izzy Stradlin

River

2001

Money flowed like a river
And it all went to the sea
And the tide came rolling back
I saw what I had in a dream
And the wind started howling
And the sand came through the trees
And as fast as it had started
It had come back to a breeze

It all comes right back, you see
And when it does then it will be

Life flows like a river
And we all end up at sea
When the tide comes rolling in
Then your life comes up to be seen
And it's short you remember
Forget where you've been
But as long as you had good times
You can sure remember this

It all comes right back, you see
And when it does then it will be
It all seems too short for me
And when it's done then it shall be

You can run like a river
Till you end up in the sea
And you run till night is black
And keep on going in your dream
And you know all the long while
It's the journey that you seek
It's the miles of moving forward
With the wind beneath your wings

Yes, it all comes back, you see
Yes, it all comes back, you see
Yes, it all comes back, you see
It all comes on back, you see
