"River of Love" by T-Bone Burnett (from the "T-Bone Burnett"

Album)

VERSE 1

There's a river of love that runs through all times.

There's a river of grief that floods through our lives.

It starts when a heart gets broken in two

By the thief of belief in anything that's true.

But there's a river of love that runs through all times.

VERSE 2

There's a river of love that runs through all times.

But there's a river of tears that flows through our eyes.

We fight through the night for freedom as it fades

Into a jail where we fail every time we make a break.

But there's a river of love that runs through all times.

INSTRUMENTAL VERSE

BRIDGE

I had to run before I knew how to crawl.

The first step was hard, but I've had trouble with them all.

But now the night grows darker and the day grows dim

And I know I never will see you again.

And I always made you happy.

VERSE 3

There's a river of love that runs through all times.

There's a river of fire that burns with no light.

The flame is the pain of dreams gone up in smoke.

>From the lies we deny and we breathe them 'til we choke.

But there's a river of love that runs through all times.
