Wild Is The River

(álbum: About Time - 1989)

I don't need a hurricane blowing, to tell me there's a storm around.
I don't need no chain around my neck, to tell me that I'm all tied down.
All I needed was a little satisfaction, trying to put me back on the track.
What I get is a typical reaction, for me there'll be no turning back.

Wild is the river, Wild and running free
Wild is the river, the river of no return.
Wild is the river, Wild and running free
Wild is the river, the river of no return.

I don't need a telegram to tell me, I got the message long ago.
I have seen the writing on the wall, telling me it's time to go.
I don't need it spelled out to the letter,
To tell me that I'm on the wrong track.
All I know is that a chance is for the better,
There'll never be no turning back.

Wild is the river, Wild and running free
Wild is the river, the river of no return.
Wild is the river, Wild and running free
Wild is the river, the river of no return.

I don't need a preacher here to show me,
Or tell me where I'm going wrong.
I don't need no money in my jeans,
"Cause I know that I'll get along.
All I know, a change is surely coming,
Gonna turn your world around.
Watching as the river is a -flowing,
Listen and you'll hear the sound.

Wild is the river, Wild and running free
Wild is the river, the river of no return.
Wild is the river, Wild and running free
Wild is the river, the river of no return.
