Hold Back a River Songtext
von Michael McDermott

Man, I hate nights when I fi nd myself
Back here feelin′ like this
I swear sometimes that God had made your
Lips for me to kiss
But right now I can barely fi nd the forest
Looking for you through the trees
And right now I can barely fi nd the water
While I set sail on your seas
All my love, love I'm gonna give her
It′s like trying to hold back a river
All my love, love I'm gonna give her
It's like trying to hold back a river
Singin′ yeah, yeah
Singin′ yeah, yeah
You seem just a little crazy sometimes
In varying degrees
You're like a feather fl oating through my night skies
Drifting through my dreams
And I wish I knew if it was you
That I was looking for


Across this muddy delta water
I′m still wading towards your shore
All my love, love I'm gonna give her
It′s like trying to hold back a river
All my love, love I'm gonna give
It′s like trying to hold back a river
Singin' yeah, yeah
Singin' yeah, yeah
Got a roof over my head
But my fl oor′s fallin′ through
My sea legs beneath me
And this weary heart
But I'll keep on holding on
Until I fall apart
Yeah-eh
Tryin′ to hold back a river
May the currents keep and guide you
And steer you from disgrace
It feels I'm drifting way too deep
Every time I touch your face
I fi nd the strength to surrender one last time
Before I close these doors for good
Babe, do you really think you′d want this heart of
Mine
Do you think you ever would?
All my love, love I'm gonna give her
It′s like trying to hold back a river
All my love, love I'm gonna give her
It's like trying to hold back a river
All my love, love I′m gonna give her
It′s like trying to hold back a river
Singin' yeah, yeah
Tryin′ to hold back a river
Singin' yeah, yeah
Tryin′ to hold back a river
Singin' yeah, yeah
Tryin′ to hold back a river
