Isn't she a river? She doesn't need a diamond to shine You can't really have her But you can hold her for a time ♪ Takes an army just to bend her Be careful where you send her You can't hold her back for long A river is just too strong And she's a river ♪ Arms made out of silver Moving in a crooked line Carrying some dreamers Off into the end of time ♪ You don't need to save her Or teach her to behave Just let her arms unwind Ever changing and undefined She's a river You can ride her easy when she's slow Walk across her when she's low Follow wherever she goes She's a river Run for cover when she's mad Drown in her tears when things are bad Don't you ever forget it that She's a river ♪ Isn't she a river? ♪ She doesn't need a diamond to shine So people call you clever But she's been here a long, long time ♪ And she's seen so many faces And places down the line She's been left for dead a million times Keeps coming home Arms open wide Ever changing and undefined ♪ She's a river ♪ She's a river ♪ She's a river
