The River Lyrics - Marc Almond

And he dances every night 

Framed in candles 

And white white light 

All is revealed 

When all is too bright 

You're such a pleasure 

A wonderful pain 

Makes me never want 

To love again 

But sorrow always comes 

To those with fickle fame

And the tears are gonna come 

The tears are gonna come 

We are consumed by corruption 

Old before our time 

Hurt by others' hunger 

Scarred by love as greed (how I need) 

How cruel the birthday of 17 

Youth behind you 

The long years ahead 

Showing you what you might have been 

Instead of drifting, drifting, drifting 

And the tears are gonna come 

The tears are gonna come 

Photos 

Foundations crumble 

Walls subside 

We all break apart 

When there's heartache inside 

Hold back those years 

Those tears 

With a futile pride (we're gonna come clean) 

Beware of love 

And of dark-eyed men 

They're sweet and they're tender 

But they have no hearts 

Just long smashed 

Cruel shards of broken glass 

And the tears are gonna come 

The tears are gonna come 

And all those songs 

That made me cry 

Keep flooding back 

And years of new discovery and you 

Disturbing my dreams 

Now we're flowing down that river 

Heading for the delta 

I don't know which way to flow 

But my heart's a forest fire 

And yours a field of snow 

I don't know which way to flow 

Don't know which way 

Don't know which way 

To flow
