Karine Polwart - Rivers Run lyrics

This weary Earth we walk upon She will endure when we are gone While kingdoms come and kingdoms go Rivers run and rivers flow You know I don't believe it's true That in this world there's nothing new For darling you have just begun Rivers flow and rivers run And if those rivers should ever run dry Somewhere the rain will still fall, Will still fall from the sky When I'm beguiled by the fear That darker days are drawing near My darling, you seduce the sun Rivers flow and rivers run And if the rivers . This wounded Earth we walk upon She will endure when we are gone But still I pray that you may know How rivers run and rivers flow And if the rivers . So I cross my heart and hope to live Just long enough that I can give It all to you, my darling one Rivers flow and rivers run
