lyrics

Oh, as the river flows
Oh, as the river flows

We’re drifting in a dream
(Oh, as the river flows)
Hearing cries and screams
(Oh, as the river flows)
Too soon we pass the scene
(Oh, as the river flows, as the river flows)
As the river flows

Forests and fields bare
(Oh, as the river flows)
Towns, dull and in despair
(Oh, as the river flows)
Is anybody there?
(Oh, as the river flows, as the river flows)
As the river flows

We’re drifting slowly
Slowly drifting
In a silent place where time has been suspended
Ghostly we are creeping
Who are we and where are we going?

Weddings and funeral pyres
(Oh, as the river flows)
Factories and burning tyres
(Oh, as the river flows)
Sizzling electric wires
(Oh, as the river flows, beware below)
As the river flows

Dead cars and dying trees
(Oh, as the river flows)
Wiped out by that disease
(Oh, as the river flows)
Buried in sites like these
(Oh, as the river flows, we’ll never know)
As the river flows

We’re in the darkness, in the darkness
Where we whisper and our voices hiss like paper
No one dares remember
But our memories hang and linger in the ether
Closer - stay together
Who are we and where are we going?

We try to change the song
(Oh, as the river flows)
But we are dragged along
(Oh, as the river flows)
Soon… all gone

We let it go as the river flows
We’ll never know as the river flows

Oh, as the river flows
(Shhh)
Oh, as the river flows
(Shhh)
Oh, as the river flows
