Rich Mullins Album: The World as Best as I Remember It, Volume 1 Track: River
River Lyrics
Rich Mullins Song of Solomon 4:8-9
Another hour deeper in the night Another mile farther down the road A man can drive as hard as he can drive And never get as far as his heart was meant to go Sometimes when you look up in the sky You think we might be closer than you know
Another tune forms in my head More harmonies, more empty words Oh, I could play these songs 'til I was dead And never approach the sound that I once heard I remember when I was just a kid Listening in the sky Believing that the wind would stir
And I know the river is deep I found out that the currents are tricky And I know the river is wide And oh the currents are strong And I may lose every dream I dreamt that I could carry with me But I have failed so many times And You've never let me fall down alone
Maybe she could come to Wichita And maybe we could borrow Beaker's bike We'd let the road wind tie our hair in knots Let the speed and the freedom untangle the lies Maybe fear can vanish before love Oh God, don't let this love be denied
'Cause I know the river is deep I found out that the currents are tricky And I know that the river is wide And oh, the currents are strong And I could lose every dream I dreamt that I could carry with me Oh, but I will reach the other side Please don't let me have to wait too long
Another hour deeper in the night Another mile farther down the road We could be closer than you know
