Lyrics
I hear a waterfall
In a night of sweet embrace
It can wash away
That little rocky place
‘Cause love is overwhelming
You can’t contain the flow
You can quarry your anger
To jam it up, but the dam just won’t hold
You Can’t Stop the River
It’s too deep and wide
You Can’t Stop the River
There’s no use in tryin’
And so now I’d like to dive right in
Let the current carry me
To the white water rapids and the timeless fall
To be carried out to sea
I see the drop in front of me
You Can’t Stop the River
It’s too deep and wide
You Can’t Stop the River
There’s no use in tryin’
And so imagine how much heart we waste
Tryin’ to resist the flood
And I suspect deep down
The river’s in our blood
Oh yeah, I want to play in the mud…
Won’t you join me please…
Come on in, the water’s fine
