Wild River Songtext
von Beverley Knight

There are days I hold my breath so I stop, I′m screaming out
At the things that people say when they think no one's about
Looking back at staring eyes, see the fear inside their hearts
Wonder if they realize how it tears my soul apart

Heaven knows I′ve done my best, it's all anyone can do
Every day is like a test, measuring the ones I've knew you
There are nights I fall asleep and I drift on dreamless foam
Where the water′s warm and deep, takes me where I want to go

Wild river, take me home
I need to find my place where I belong
Wild river, take me home
To a land where I′m embraced, where I'm not alone


Take me to the open air where there′s room for all to breathe
I can walk without a care, every sigh is my relief
How I long to hear the phrase, "How you doing? Come on in"
Where somebody knows your face and the smile is genuine

Why is it so hard to find in a city full of clocks
Anybody with the time to save you from your pros and cons
There are nights I fall asleep and the dream's so real to me
′Cause the water's warm and deep, takes me to where I am free

Wild river, take me home
I need to find my place where I belong
Wild river, take me home
To a land where I′m embraced, where I'm not alone

Oh, wild river, take me home
I need to find my place where I belong
Wild river, take me home
To a land where I'm embraced, where I′m not alone
