David Carswell - The River lyrics

She despises the direction this city's been going in She rises above it all, cause after all, someone's got to go free And someone's got to follow The river... Escape from New York. Escape from LA.

You're living, you're breathing. You're living, you're breathing You try to believe in, but you don't believe You want them to go, they never leave... Lily-colored livers The rich man shivers for reasons unknown in the wind "I'm over before I begin," he says "I'm over before I begin to go," He says...
