ALL Roads To The River Artist: Janis Ian I am master and slave. I am sunlight and shadow. I am all roads to the river. I am lost, I am saved. I am beloved and betrayed. All roads to the river. And the river runs wide, The river runs deep. And I spit in the eye of safe company. When I dive right down to the undertow, The deeper I drown, the higher I go. I am whispering dreams. I am howling revolutions (revolutions). All roads to the river. I am valentine sweet. I am every mother's nightmare (nightmare). All road to the river. The river runs wide, The river runs deep. I spit in the eye of safe company. Gonna dive right down to the undertow, 'Cause the deeper I drown, the higher I go. I dream of still water, Silent and clear. But I run for the thunder, That'll drown my fear. [Instrumental break.] And the river runs wide, The river runs deep. And I spit in the eye of safe company. Gonna dive right down to the undertow, 'Cause the deeper I drown, higher I go. [Copyright © Janis Ian/her co-writer(s) if any/their publisher(s). All rights reserved.] |
