"River of Love" by T-Bone Burnett (from the "T-Bone Burnett"
album)
VERSE 1
There's a river of love that runs through all times.
There's a river of grief that floods through our lives.
It starts when a heart gets broken in two
By the thief of belief in anything that's true.
But there's a river of love that runs through all times.
VERSE 2
There's a river of love that runs through all times.
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 every time we make a break.
But there's a river of love that runs through all times.
INSTRUMENTAL VERSE
BRIDGE
I had to run before I knew how to crawl.
The first step was hard, but I've had trouble with them all.
But now the night grows darker and the day grows dim
And I know I never will see you again.
And I always made you happy.
VERSE 3
There's a river of love that runs through all times.
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 we breathe them 'til we choke.
But there's a river of love that runs through all times.
