The River

Tim Buckley

I live by the river

And I hide my house away

Then just like the river

I can change my ways

Oh, if you come to love me

You would stay forever

Inside my heart

Inside my dreams

And time will fade

In time we'll love



In the street we walk as beggars

In the alley faithless kings

Ah, but it's the truth of life

That chains us in between

Those lost moments we steal

To keep our love alive

And our prize so tired after all the pain

And time will fade

In time we'll love
