[Verse 1]
A full moon tide sweeps in
To wash the sand to white
A fairytale
Keeps a child wide eyed at night
A golden band
Could bring such happiness
A dream of you and me
Or a haven for times of loneliness
[Chorus A]
Won't you take my hand at the picture show?
I love to sit with you and let the river flow
Let the river flow
[Verse 2]
I hear a church bell ring
There's people searching for the Holy Ghost
But now our daily bread
Ooh, it gets delivered like the morning post
Rock of Ages pa**, they pa**
Like ships that dance by in the night
This dream keeps haunting me
Only to get shattered by the first morning light
[Chorus A]
Won't you take my hand at the picture show?
I love to sit with you and let the river flow
Let the river flow
[Verse 3]
Well, it makes no sense to me
So close, yet so far apart
A sailor lost at sea
With the promise from his lover's heart
I can't stop this circle of fear
Ooh, I'm like a priest who's confessing alone
At the end of the street a dark man appears
And he cuts me right through to the bone
[Chorus B]
Won't you take my hand at the picture show?
So good to sit with you and let the river flow
Let the river flow
[Outro]
And let the river flow
And let the river flow
And let the river flow
And let the river flow
