Where Rivers Run Green

Paddy Gibney

When this life scares me

Into your arms I run

I run to your green fields

And your skies of vacant sun



As the shadows crawl across your face

A soft rain does fall

And I can see you from the clouds in the sky

I have come to heed your call



Ageless streets, A simple life

Rainy Days and Rainy nights

Oh how long must I fight this fight?

I'm losing sight of all my dreams

Where rivers run green



When first I left your warm embrace

My life had just begun

And if they question who I am

I will answer I am your son



My heart, it longs for rest and peace

But I find myself in two (torn in two)

Torn between a place that I love

And what I have to do



Ageless streets, a simple life

Those rainy days bring those rainy nights

Oh how long must I fight this fight?

I'm losing sight of all you mean

Where rivers run green



Oh how long must I fight this fight?

I'm losing sight or so it seems

Where the rivers run green

Where the rivers run green

Where the rivers run green

Where the rivers run green
