Testo River rise David Crosby

River rise

It's late in California
The voices are speaking low
And the winds line up
Point the direction they wanna go
The cold is hanging on now
The heat will be here soon
And those same old thoughts
Coming back around like a black moon

Let the river rise
Open up the skies
Not gonna wash away
Let the waters come down
Turn around into a fortress
Let the river rise
Open up the sky
Time won't slip away
Let the clock run out
Don't care about it, not today

The gold?n light surrounding
A sea of humanity
And the wind has its own language
Spok?n by the trees
Diamonds shine forever
Underneath the twilight sky
As the day grows near
I start to believe always one more try

Let the river rise
Open up the skies
Not gonna wash away
Let the waters come down
Turn around into a fortress
Let the river rise
Open up the sky
Time won't slip away
Let the clock run out
Don't care about it, not today

Coming in too fast
For an easy landing
It's out of my heart
It's out of my head
It's out of my hands

Let the river rise
Open up the skies
Not gonna wash away
Let the waters come down
Turn around into a fortress
Let the river rise
Open up the sky
Time won't slip away
Let the clock run out
Don't care about it, not today

Let the river rise
Let the clock run out (Let the clock run out)
Let the river rise (Let it rise, yeah)
Let the clock run out
