Lyrics River - The Boxer Rebellion

Change direction
Take me to golden sands
Surrender my worries to an unseen promised land

Wish I'd sheltered my blessings
Even a drunken sore head
Even idle lovers
Who I know wish I was dead

And I used to sit by the river
Hoping one day it would lead me to the sea
And I used to sit by the river
Knowing one day it would lead me to my dreams

Fear of sadness
Fear of a broken heart
I held back on a gamble
I assumed would only fall apart

And I used to sit by the river
Hoping one day it would lead me to the sea
And I used to sit by the river
Knowing one day it would lead me to my dreams

Can you reach me?
Can you reach me?

And I used to sit by the river
Hoping one day it would lead me to the sea
And I used to sit by the river
Knowing one day it would lead me to my dreams
Knowing one day it would lead me to my dreams
Knowing one day it would lead me to my dreams
Knowing one day it would lead me to my dreams
