James Bay - Hold Back The River

Tried to keep you close to me

HOLD BACK THE RIVER, hold back

HOLD BACK THE RIVER, hold back

HOLD BACK THE RIVER, hold back

Let us hold each other

HOLD BACK THE RIVER, hold back

We rode our bikes into the sky

Once upon a dear friend life

With love we call against the tide

Let us hold each other

HOLD BACK THE RIVER, let me look in your eyes

Tried to square not being there

But life got in between

But think that I should have been

HOLD BACK THE RIVER, let me look in your eyes

Those distant days are flashing by

HOLD BACK THE RIVER, let me look in your eyes

HOLD BACK THE RIVER so I

Can stop for a minute and be at your side

HOLD BACK THE RIVER so I

Can stop for a minute and see where you hide

Hold oho, oho, oho, oho

Oho, oho, oho, oho

Let us hold each other

Hold back the river.... Hold back!
