Strophe)
Tried to keep you close to me
but life got in between
Tried to square not being there
but think that I should have been
Refrain)
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back
Strophe)
Once upon a different life
We rode our bikes into the sky
But now we call against the tide
Those distand days are flashing by
Refrain)
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back
Bridge)
Lonely water, lonely water, won´t you let us wander
Let us hold each other
Lonely water, lonely water, won´t you let us wander
Let us hold each other
Refrain)
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back
Refrain)
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back
Bridge)
Lonely water, lonely water, won´t you let us wander
Let us hold each other
Lonely water, lonely water, won´t you let us wander
Let us hold each other......
