Rio Esperanza

(专辑： Chinese Work Songs - 2000)

Texas to tennessee blue
Highway to highway
Just to get back to you
With the barren winds blowing
A jealous moon 'cross the plains
I'll only be running and calling your name

I should have never left you
After what I held close
With the hours slipping by
From the one I love most
Chasing days that take flight
And the mist from my eyes
I die a little each day with you so far away

Oh my darling I've cried these many miles
A kiss in the shadows, a whispered memory
I'll be waiting, all of my life, only my only (only my lonely)
Rio esperanza, it's the river of hope

There's a place in my heart where you'll always be
Where the shallows run long, and the drifting is free

Oh my darling I've cried these many miles
A kiss in the shadows, a whispered memory
I'll be waiting, all of my life, only my only (only my lonely)
Rio esperanza, it's the river of hope

Across windswept hills your voice calms to caress me
Like a lover stealing glances
I can't wait to hold you
See the light flicker softly
In a blue silverscape
It's such sweet surrender (and) I've come home again

Oh my darling
A kiss in the shadows
A whispered memory
I'll be waiting
All of my life
Only my only
Rio esperanza
It's the river of hope
