Lyrics Wild River - Beverley Knight

Wild River

There are days I hold my breath
So I stop, I’m screaming out
At the things that people say
When they think no one’s about
Looking back at staring eyes
See the fear inside their hearts
Wonder if they realize
How it tears my soul apart
Heaven knows I’ve done my best
It’s all anyone can do
Every day is like a test
Measuring the ones that knew you
There are nights I fall asleep
And I drift on dreamless foam
Where the water’s warm and deep
Takes me where I want to go
Wild river
Take me home
I need to find my place
Where I belong
Wild river
Take me home
To a land where I’m embraced
Where I’m not alone
Take me to the open air
Where there’s room for all to breathe
I can walk without a care
Every sigh is my relief
How I long to hear the phrase
«How you doing?
Come on in»
Where somebody knows your face
And the smile is genuine
Why’s it so hard to find,
In a city full of clocks
Anybody with the time
To save you from your?
There are nights I fall asleep
And the dream’s so real to me
'Cause the water’s warm and deep
Takes me to where I am free
Wild river
Take me home
I need to find my place
Where I belong
Wild river
Take me home
To a land where I’m embraced
Where I’m not alone
Oh, no
Oh, no
Oh…
Oh, wild (wild) river (river)
Take me home
I need to find my place
Where I belong
Wild river
Take me home
To a land where I’m embraced
Where I’m not alone
Oh, no
Oh, no
