| Tried to keep you close to me, | 
| But life got in between | 
| Tried to square not being there | 
| But think that I should have been | 
| Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes | 
| Hold back the river, so I | 
| Can stop for a minute and see where you hide | 
| Hold back the river, hold back | 
| Once upon a different life | 
| We rode our bikes into the sky | 
| But now we call against the tide | 
| 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 by your side | 
| Hold back the river, hold back | 
| Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes | 
| Hold back the river, so I | 
| Can stop for a minute and see where you hide | 
| Hold back the river, hold back | 
| Hold oho, oho, oho, oho | 
| Oho, oho, oho, oho | 
| Lonely water, lonely water, won’t you let us wander | 
| Let us hold each other | 
| Lonely water, lonely water, won’t you let us wander | 
| Let us hold each other | 
| Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes | 
| Hold back the river, so I | 
| Can stop for a minute and be by your side | 
| Hold back the river, hold back | 
| Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes | 
| Hold back the river, so I | 
| Can stop for a minute and be by your side | 
| Hold back the river, hold | 
| Lonely water, lonely water, won’t you let us wander | 
| Let us hold each other | 
| Lonely water, lonely water, won’t you let us wander | 
| Let us hold each other |
