Boat On The River
Styx · Babe: Collection [2011]
Take me back to my boat on the river
I need to go down,I need to come down
Take me back to my boat on the river
And I wont cry out anymore
Time stands still as I gaze in her waters
She easses me down,touching me gently
With the waters that flow past m boat on the river
So I don't cry out anymore
Oh the river is wise
The river it touches my life like the waves on the sand
And all roads lead to tranquillity base
Where the frown on my face dissapears
Take me down to my boat on the river
And I wont cry out anymore
Oh the river is deep
The river it touches my life like the waves on the sand
And all roads lead to tranquillity base
Where the frown on my face dissapears
Take me down to my boat on the river
I need to go down,wont you let me go down
Take me back to my boat on the river
And i wont cry out anymore
And i wont cry out anymore
And i wont cry out anymore
I need to go down,I need to come down
Take me back to my boat on the river
And I wont cry out anymore
Time stands still as I gaze in her waters
She easses me down,touching me gently
With the waters that flow past m boat on the river
So I don't cry out anymore
Oh the river is wise
The river it touches my life like the waves on the sand
And all roads lead to tranquillity base
Where the frown on my face dissapears
Take me down to my boat on the river
And I wont cry out anymore
Oh the river is deep
The river it touches my life like the waves on the sand
And all roads lead to tranquillity base
Where the frown on my face dissapears
Take me down to my boat on the river
I need to go down,wont you let me go down
Take me back to my boat on the river
And i wont cry out anymore
And i wont cry out anymore
And i wont cry out anymore
