Riverrun Lyrics - Wild Strawberries

Ten miles to save my name 

Steel crosses cold as stone 

Looking like a gambler throwing coins away 

I'm feeling so displaced 

You're painting candy on my faith 

You're so convincing, I am so ashamed 

Riverrun softly through 

The hands of people without toys 

Riverrun boldly through Vanity Fair 

Riverrun cold, riverrun slow 

Riverrun free with the wind in your hair 

Life from the turn of the stairs 

I've felt the mountain rain 

I've seen it nurse a thousand veins 

I've watched the rivulets of silent grace 

But now my memory strains 

To wash its hands in muddy streams 

As I sit fishing by a dying tree 

Riverrun softly through 

The hands of people without toys 

Riverrun boldly through Vanity Fair 

Riverrun cold, riverrun slow 

Riverrun free with the wind in your hair 

Life from the turn of the stairs 

It's hard to know your place 

Look down and people call you brave 

Look up and people tell you what to say 

Don't throw my words away 

Don't even try to paraphrase 

Some words are spoken best from broken frames 

Riverrun softly through 

The hands of people without toys 

Riverrun boldly through Vanity Fair 

Riverrun cold, riverrun slow 

Riverrun free with the wind in your hair 

Life from the turn of the stairs
