The River Only Flows One Way

(Album: Peace...Like A River - 2023)

There's communication and compromise
But the river only flows one way
There's looking at things through someone else's eyes
But the river only flows one way
You can build a dam, cut your losses
You can build a bridge to get across it
But at the end of the day
The river only flows one way

Oh, how could you hurt me so?

There's answers here and answers there
But the river only flows one way
So many questions floating in the air
But the river only flows one way
You can change directions, you can change your mind
You can change partners, even change your crimes
You can get down on your knees and pray
But the river only flows one way

Oh, how could you hurt me so?

One shot answers when another shot calls
But the river only flows one way
One fool rises when another fool falls
But the river only flows one way
Jack be naughty, jack be styling
Jack Ruby was the queen of diamonds
But the king is here to stay
And the river only flows one way

Oh, how could you hurt me so?
