If only my feet could fall as fast as a heart does I would be so long gone But I'm stuck, stuck under your thumb I can't get up I can't get up, up I can't get up If only my eyes could see as high as a mountain Or wherever your heart's gone But I have fallen on the bank of this river I can't get up I can't get up, up I can't get up If only my heart could speak into this river
And you'd drink me up I could be free of all these lonesome shivers I could give myself up (give myself up) We all go back to the river We will all come undone And there you will be, my love, with the faintest touch And I will give myself up Give myself up, up I will give myself up Give myself up, up I'll give myself up
