MC Carlos - The River Man lyrics

Why are you waiting for me ? I'll never come back I lost my reason, lost my way And i lost you again So why are you waiting ? Why are you waiting for me ? Lost in the crowd You're like a thousand year old tree From all your cries and all your tears Nothing will grow but fear And while you're waiting This city doesn't sleep The kids are still laughing And the rain washes the dirty street I went to the River Man Your world was not a place Where i could stay A bird I couldn't hold in my hand While i've been waiting for you My nights turned into infinity Out there, in the crowded city I get eaten like a fruit fallen from the tree Yeah i've been waiting for you, cause what I remember of you is that fire that kept us so warm I won't let it die, no i won't let it die I will be the one to bring back that fire in your eye I went to the River Man He said that my world is where You should stay A place where you could Rest inside my hand
