Shes A River Lyrics by Simple Minds

Shes A River Lyrics

    Shadow let go
    There's something you should know
    I just found my new direction
    And i hope you like the key
    Like the air that led me to it
    She's like the wind that sucked me through it
    She's a river and she's turning there in front of me

    Stand back - get back
    She'll paint your blue skies black
    She gives bullet proof protection
    Got a resurrection feel
    When i'm scared, and 'bout to lose
    She gives me travelling shoes
    She's a river and she's turning in front of me
    And i go blind
    Wasting my time
    While the rivers in front of me
    That's where i'm goin' to be

    Shine on, get on
    Twilight from dusk to dawn
    She's the spirit of creation
    She's the last chance guarantee
    Got a myriad of poses
    Sweet miracles and roses
    She's a river and she's turning in front of me

    'cause when i find
    My state of mind
    The river's in front of me

    They say that every heaven's got a thousand rooms
    So take me on that freedom ride
    My heart is like a hunter's in the silent moon
    My nerves just feel electrified
    Meet me on the staircase
    Outside a darkened room
    Light me like a naked flame
    The voice of mother nature states
    All things must pass
    And nothing can remain
    They say that every heaven's got a thousand rooms
    So take me on that freedom ride

    You raise me like a building to the very top
    Rush me to the end of time
    You fill me full of danger
    You give me future shock
    Then you leave me wasted dying

    And i go blind
    Wasting my time
    The river's in front of me
