Texty: Cyndi Lauper. The Body Acoustic. I'll Be Your River.
If you need water, I'll be your river
Like a wave I will come over you
You need someone to fall into, I'll be your river
And my love will carry you through
You like the flame and you are drawn by desire
Watchin' and waitin' in line for your turn
I've learned to walk with my back to the fire
I like the heat but I don't wanna get burned
And if you need water, I'll be your river
Like a wave I will come over you
You need someone to fall into, I'll be your river
And my love will carry you through
Here stands a fortress built with great walls of silence
Ready to crumble at the slightest word
Finding the right one is becoming a science
I'd like to scream but I ain't gonna be heard
And if you need water, I'll be your river
Like a wave I will come over you
You need someone to fall into, I'll be your river
And my love will carry you through
What if all these fields
That we both fly into
Melt away and disappear?
If you need water, I'll be your river
Like a wave I will come over you
You need someone to fall into, I'll be your river
And my love will carry you, my love will carry you
My love will carry you through
Like a wave I will come over you
You need someone to fall into, I'll be your river
And my love will carry you through
You like the flame and you are drawn by desire
Watchin' and waitin' in line for your turn
I've learned to walk with my back to the fire
I like the heat but I don't wanna get burned
And if you need water, I'll be your river
Like a wave I will come over you
You need someone to fall into, I'll be your river
And my love will carry you through
Here stands a fortress built with great walls of silence
Ready to crumble at the slightest word
Finding the right one is becoming a science
I'd like to scream but I ain't gonna be heard
And if you need water, I'll be your river
Like a wave I will come over you
You need someone to fall into, I'll be your river
And my love will carry you through
What if all these fields
That we both fly into
Melt away and disappear?
If you need water, I'll be your river
Like a wave I will come over you
You need someone to fall into, I'll be your river
And my love will carry you, my love will carry you
My love will carry you through
