I slide down the steps, I stop at the gate
I walk down the road, but I know I’m too late
I run to the door. I can’t make you wait
The moment has gone, why did I hesitate?
But there’s something I feel that I don’t understand
You’re squeezing my eyes, I let go of your hand

Your rivers run deep, emotions are high
We don’t have a plan, do I need this disguise?
I hear you call out as I’m passing by
Your rivers run deep but your head’s in the sky

I hide from the traffic. I don’t know the threat
I run from the people even though we’ve never met
I see precious children-they haven’t learned to forget
A young man acts strangely-he’s drowning in his sweat
I realise that I don’t know
Part of your life was mine long ago

Your rivers run deep, emotions are high
We don’t have a plan, do I need this disguise?
I hear you call out as I’m passing by
Your rivers run deep but your heart’s in the sky

(instrumental break) 

Your rivers run deep, emotions are high
We don’t have a plan, do I need this disguise?
I hear you call out as I’m passing by
Your rivers run deep but your heart’s in the sky
