Peace Like A River Lyrics - 1964-1993 - Paul Simon

Ah 

Peace like a river ran through the city 

Long past the midnight curfew 

We sat starry-eyed 

Oh, oh 

We were satisfied 

Ah 

And I remember misinformation followed us 

Like a plague 

Nobody knew from time to time 

If the plans were changed 

Oh, oh, oh 

If the plans were changed 

You can beat us with wires 

You can beat us with chains 

You can run out your rules 

But you know you can't outrun the history trair 

I've seen a glorious day 

Ahee-ee-ee-ee-eeee-ee 

Ah 

Four in the morning I woke up form out of my dreams 

Nowhere to go but back to sleep 

But I'm reconciled 

Oh, oh, oh 

I'm gonna be up for a while 

Oh, oh, oh 

I'm gonna be up for a while 

Oh, oh, ohhh 

I'm gonna be up for a while
