River Rise Song Lyrics
River Rise by David Crosby It's light in California
The voices are speaking low
And the wheels line up
Pointing the direction they want to go
The cold is hanging on now
The heat will be here soon
And those same old thoughts
Coming back around like a black moon
Let the river rise
Open up the skies
Not gonna wash away
Let the walls come down
Turn around
Into a fortress
Let the river rise
Open up the skies
Time won't slip away
Let the clock run out
Don't care about it
Not today
The golden light surrounding
A sea of humanity
And the wind has its own language
Spoken by the trees
Diamonds shine forever
Underneath a twilight sky
And the day grows dim
I start to believe always one more try
Let the river rise
Open up the skies
Not gonna wash away
Let the walls come down
Turn around
Into a fortress
Let the river rise
Open up the skies
Time won't slip away
Let the clock run out
Don't care about it
Not today
Coming in too fast
For an easy landing
It's out of my heart
It's out of my head (wish I could rule the scoreboard)
It's out of my hands (but it's out of my hands)
Let the river rise
Open up the skies
Not gonna wash away
Let the walls come down
Turn around
Into a fortress
Let the river rise
Open up the skies
Time won't slip away
Let the clock run out
Don't care about it
Not today
Let the river rise
Let the clock run out
(Let the clock run out)
Let the river rise
(Let it rise)
Let the clock run out
