T Bone Burnett - River of Love lyrics

There's a river of love that runs through all time But there's a river of grief that floods through our lives It starts when a heart is broken into By the thief of belief in anything that's true But there's a river of love that runs through all time There's a river of love that runs through all time But there's a river of tears that flows through our eyes We fight through the night for freedom as it fades Into a jail where we fail everytime we make a break But there's a river of love that runs through all time I had to run before I knew how to crawl The first step was hard But I have had trouble with them all But now the night grows darker And the day grows dim Cause I know I never will see you again And I almost made you happy There's a river of love that runs through all time But there's a river of fire that burns with no light The flame is the pain of dreams gone up in smoke From the lies we deny and breathe until we choke There's a river of love that runs through all time
