Like A River - Naked & Alone C.D.

Lyrics

Did ya ever know that I could feel your anger, throwing daggers from your eyes It always seemed like there was danger near when you’d stagger When you’d stagger through your lies Now I wish I could cry, oh yeah cry, Oh like a river like a river in a storm I can’t let it flow, I can’t let it go, Will ya keep me warm? Cause I wish I could cry, oh just cry, Oh like a river, like a river in a storm I can’t let it flow, I can’t let it go, Will you keep me warm? Will you keep me warm, will you keep me warm Oh, will you keep me warm Some children listen and some they speak, while others only play hide & seek Some children they learn to have some fun, while others only learn to run An I wanted to die, oh just die cause I believed you hated me An I don’t know why, still I don’t know why an I wonder if you can see See me now, can you see me now Oh, can you see me now I don’t know why but I feel like your watching m ¹e I don’t know why but I feel like your stalking me I don’t know why I want to please you but I do I don’t know why I’ve got to see this thing through I don’t know why but I feel like your watching me I don’t know why but I feel like your stalking me I don’t know why I want to please you but I do I don’t know why I’ve got to see this thing through I wish I could cry, I wish I could cry, like a river with you eye to eye, baby Turn on your radio, turn on your television Turn on your lover, turn off these feelings Take off these ragged jeans, turn off these memories Just like a river, ride emotion, ride emotion, like a river I wish the telephone would ring & be you sayin’ you can’t find nothin’ better to do Than take one last dance around the living room LIKE A RIVER! Oh, you’ve got to learn to let it go, Oh, you’ve got to, got to let it flow Like A River in a storm Like a A River, Like A River Like A River in a Storm Like A River
