River of Life - Lyrics - Heather Nova

I wanted to feel like a bird On the wings of time But it was not our time I wanted to lie for a while In the fields and dream But it was not to be, oh yeah, 'cause 'cause sometimes you got to let love go Even though it's hurting, even though And sometimes you got to let love slide Oh, with the river The river of life I wanted to hold you so long In the dark till dawn But I could feel you go I wanted to sing In my head I could hear a song But it was not our song, oh yeah 'cause 'cause sometimes you got to let love go Even though it's hurting, even though And sometimes you got to let love slide Oh, with the river The river of life The river of life Sometimes you got to let love go Even though it's hurting, even though And sometimes you got to let love slide Oh, with the river The river of life, yeah But sometimes you got to let love slide Oh, with the river The river of life The river of life
