River Of Love
Written by Glen Burtnik and Patty Smyth
Lead vocals by Patty Smyth
I been standing on the water's edge
Now you want to pull me in
But I been standing here so long
I don't remember if I can swim
Do you believe that people change now baby
Tell me that you see a change in me
I'm ready to begin
Cause I climbed a mountain, that ain't so tough
I'm going down to the River of Love
I made some money, it's never enough
Now I'm going down to the River of Love
Follow me down, down, down to the river
Now your big blue skies and your deep blue water
Will not wash away the past
But to my heart I will surrender
And swear this time will be the last
And maybe I'm afraid of losing, baby
Maybe it'd be worse to win
Either way, I'm jumping in
Cause I climbed a mountain, that ain't so tough
I'm going down to the River of Love
I made some money, it's never enough
Now I'm going down to the River of Love
Follow me down, down, down to the river
And I was thirsty, baby
You came and filled me up
And now I'm ready, baby
To drown in your River of Love
Cause I climbed a mountain, that ain't so tough
I'm going down to the River of Love
I made some money, it's never enough
Now I'm going down to the River of Love
Follow me down, down, down to the river
I've moved some mountains, that ain't so tough
Now I'm going down to the River of Love
If it's too sweet I may never come up
I wanna drown in your River of Love
