All Roads to the River Lyrics by Kathy Mattea

Love Travels

1997

I am master and slave
I am sunlight and shadow
I am all roads to the river
I am lost, I am saved
I am beloved and betrayed
I am all roads to the river
And the river runs wide
And the river runs deep
And I spit in the eye of safe company
When I dive right down to the undertow
'Cause the deeper I drown, the higher I'll go
I am whispering dreams
I am howling revolution
I am all roads to the river
I am Valentine sweet
I am every mother's nightmare
I am all roads to the river
And the river runs wide
And the river runs deep
And I spit in the eye of safe company
When I dive right down to the undertow
The deeper I drown, the higher I'll go
I dream of still water
Silent and clear
But I run for the thunder
That'll drown my fear
And the river runs wide
And the river runs deep
And I spit in the eye of safe company
When I dive right down to the undertow
The deeper I drown, the higher I'll go
