Song
"River of Love" by T-Bone Burnett (from the "T-Bone Burnett" album)
VERSE 1
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 gets 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.
VERSE 2
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.
INSTRUMENTAL VERSE
BRIDGE
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
And I know I never will see you again.
And I almost made you happy.
VERSE 3
There's a river of love that runs through all times.
There's a river of fire that burns with no light.
The flame is the pain of dreams gone up in smoke.
From the lies we deny and we breathe until we choke.
But there's a river of love that runs through all times.
INSTRUMENTAL VERSE & END
