Here there is no telephone in the trees
Beautiful days all on the water
And all I can do is write you a letter
River, it's cold here in the morning
Later, I can see it in your eyes
Mild and white, we follow the canyons
Quiet at night, we stare at the sky
Leaving you now will never change things
Running away will just change the view
All I can see is the highway
All I can see is you.
River, you'll carry me thru the fire
Maybe you'll drown me in your arms
But if I die like that
It won't be like dying
When I rise again, the ashes are gone.
Leaving you now will never change me
Running away will just change the view
All I can see is the highway
All I can see is you.

River, there are no stars in the city Here there is no telephone in the trees Beautiful days all on the water And all I can do is write you a letter River, it's cold here in the morning Later, I can see it in your eyes Mild and white, we follow the canyons Quiet at night, we stare at the sky Leaving you now will never change things Running away will just change the view All I can see is the highway All I can see is you. River, you'll carry me thru the fire Maybe you'll drown me in your arms But if I die like that It won't be like dying When I rise again, the ashes are gone. Leaving you now will never change me Running away will just change the view All I can see is the highway All I can see is you. Written by Renee Armand & Marty Gwinn, l980 Explain Request ×
