The River's Gonna Run

I got a hole in my pocket

I got a tear in my heart

I got a door i can't unlock it

I live on shadows in the dark

I hear the sound of a heartbeat

I hear a secret in the rain

It's like the kiss of a lover

It's like a stranger knows your name

I'm gonna rock on the water

I'm gonna dance on the flood

I'm gonna lay down with the wind

and believe like a child

I feel the swell of the tempest

I feel the passion of a soul

like there's a storm comin in

a storm of love going wild

and when the thunderheads start beating like a drum

and the thunder cracks the sky in two

the wind is gonna blow and the rain is gonna come

and the river's gonna run

I wanna walk on a wire

an unbroken line

I wanna live when I die

and shake my soul loose from time

I wanna ride with the angels

on that invisible street

and leave my footprints in the sky

and feel the stars beneath my feet

and when the thunderheads start beating like a drum

and the thunder cracks the sky in two

the wind is gonna blow and the rain is gonna come

and the river's gonna run

I gonna take the train that's gonna get me there

all the tracks behind me are burning in the air

the cure is gonna kill me but I don't care

I don't care

I don't care

I don't care

I don't care

It's like the kiss of a lover

It's like a scret in the rain

It's like a stranger knows your name

It's like a stranger knows your name
