She is a river lyrics
by Simple Minds



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 like 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's 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 river's 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 river's in front of me
That's where I'm goin' to be

Shadow
Move on and on

'Cause when I find
My state of mind
The river's in front of me

Live on

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, 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 (Stand back)
Get 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)
She's a river in front of me

(Stand back, get back) (The river's in front of me) Get back!
There's a river in front of me
(The river's in front of me)
The river's in front of me
