Slow Rivers (with Cliff Richard) Lyrics
Elton John
Slow Rivers (with Cliff Richard) Songtext:
Elton:
the weatherman he looks confused
shakes his fist at the sky
like you used to do
Cliff:
but you don't remember things like that do you
the balance was uneven but I'm breaking through
both:
slow rivers run cold
shallow waters never sank so low
I thought I'd drown and you'd never know
you're a slow river and you run so cold
Cliff:
the winter here don't believe in God
the bitter wind just bites through me like a wild dog
Elton:
I still see your eyes tonight like headlights through the fog
but one foot in your door oh that's all I ever got
both:
slow rivers run cold
shallow waters never sank so low
I thought I'd drown and you'd never know
you're a slow river and you run so cold
both:
chances are you'll reappear
swim my way in a flood of tears
no place to hide your conscience so
you're a sinking ship with no place to go
both:
slow rivers run cold
shallow waters never sank so low
I thought I'd drown and you'd never know
you're a slow river and you run so cold
Elton:
the weatherman he looks confused
shakes his fist at the sky
like you used to do
Cliff:
but you don't remember things like that do you
the balance was uneven but I'm breaking through
both:
slow rivers run cold
shallow waters never sank so low
I thought I'd drown and you'd never know
you're a slow river and you run so cold
Cliff:
the winter here don't believe in God
the bitter wind just bites through me like a wild dog
Elton:
I still see your eyes tonight like headlights through the fog
but one foot in your door oh that's all I ever got
both:
slow rivers run cold
shallow waters never sank so low
I thought I'd drown and you'd never know
you're a slow river and you run so cold
both:
chances are you'll reappear
swim my way in a flood of tears
no place to hide your conscience so
you're a sinking ship with no place to go
both:
slow rivers run cold
shallow waters never sank so low
I thought I'd drown and you'd never know
you're a slow river and you run so cold
