Holding Back the River

歌詞

Like an arc, two lovers come From their own place beneath the sun That shines on individual souls Feeds us, keeps each one of us whole Two hearts don't beat as one Each one listens to our own drum Slowly we come to touch To share the fruit we want so much We have been holding back the river We almost drowned before But love has changed forever It's taking prisoners no more So we walk to the Grand Canal A Dublin woman and a country pal Where the city is such a perfect place Swans glide in total grace Kavanagh sits in a morning dream Smiles at the familiar scene Of your brown eyes, your red hair Your voice so soft, your skin so fair We have been holding back the river We almost drowned before But love has changed forever It's taking prisoners no more
