Lyrics Simple Minds

Simple Minds

She's a River

Shadow let go there's something you should know

I just found my new direction and I hope you like the key

Like the air that led me to it

She's the wind that sucked me through it

She's a river and she's turning there in front of me

Stand back get back, she'll paint your blue skies black

She gives bullet proof protection, she got a resurrection feel

When I'm scared, and 'bout to lose, she gives me traveling shoes

She's a river and she's turning in front of me

And I go blind, wasting my time

While the rivers in front of me that's where I'm goin' to be

Shine on, get on twilight from dusk to dawn

She's the spirit of creation, she's the last chance guarantee

Got a myriad of poses, sweet miracles and roses

She's a river and she's turning in front of me

And I go blind, wasting my time

While the rivers in front of me that's where I'm goin' to be

Shadow ...

The river's in front of me

They say that every heaven's got a thousand rooms

So take me on that freedom ride

My heart is like a hunter's in the silent moon

My nerves just feel electrified

Meet me on the staircase by a darkened room

Light me like a naked flame

The voice of Mother Nature states all things must pass

And nothing can remain

They say that every heaven's got a thousand rooms

So take me on that freedom ride

You raise me like a building to the very top

Rush me to the end of time

You fill me full of danger, you give me future shock

Then you leave me wasted dying

Stand back get back

Stand back get back

Move on

She's a river, she's a river

She's a river

And I go blind, wasting my time

The river's in front of me

Stand back get back

She's a river, she's a river, she's a river

She's a river, she's a river

Shine on, get on twilight from dusk to dawn

She's the spirit of creation, she's the last chance guarantee

Stand back get back

She's a river, she's a river, she's a river

In front of me

Stand back get back

The river's in front of me

The river's in front of me

The river's in front of me
