Lyrics T-Bone Burnett

T-Bone Burnett

River Of Love

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 is 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

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

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

'Cause I know I never will see you again

And I almost made you happy

There's a river of love that runs through all times

There's a river of fire that burns with no lights

The flame is the pain of dreams gone up in smoke

From the lies we deny and we breathe them till we choke

But there's a river of love that runs through all times
