Slow Rivers Songtext
von Elton John & Cliff Richard

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Hmm, hmm

The weatherman, he looks confused
Shakes his fist at the sky, like you used to do
But you don′t remember things like that, do you?
The balance was uneven, but I'm breaking through

Slow rivers run cold
Shallow waters never sank so low
I thought I′d drown, and you'd never know, you're a
Slow river and you run so cold

The winter here don′t believe in God
The bitter wind just bites through me, like a wild dog
I still see your eyes tonight like headlights through the fog
But one foot in your door, oh, that′s all I ever got


Slow rivers run cold
Shallow waters never sank so low
I thought I'd drown, and you′d never know, you're a
Slow river and you run so cold

Chances are you′ll reappear
Swim my way in a flood of tears
No place to hide your conscience, so
You're a sinking ship with no place to go

Slow rivers run cold
Shallow waters never sank so low
I thought I′d drown, and you'd never know, you're a
Slow river and you run so cold

And slow rivers run cold (slow rivers runnin′)
Shallow waters never sank so low
I thought I′d drown, and you'd never know, you′re a
Slow river and you run so cold
