Dan Fogelberg - Shallow Rivers lyrics

Shallow rivers run between us

Where a stone may never sink.

Though we taste, we are left thirsty

For a deep and soulful drink.

Narrow channels, barely open

Fraught with dangers out of view;

In the current, we are helpless

Still I cling to you.

(Chorus)

Grab me woman, take me under,

Till I can't tell up from down.

We have barely got our feet wet

and I want, I want to drown.

Shallow rivers run between us

Never mind the nevermore,

Up ahead the water quickens;

I can hear those rapids roar.

Narrow channels, barely open

Flood the waves with treachery,

Hope I long to see the sunrise

On a peaceful sea.

(Chorus)
