the river

you are like the rain that falls with the snow
or is it the other way around
i dont know
all i know is i love you
and cant get above you
it is driving with no place to go
the muscle and the bone i find
that keeps my heart in line
just confuses me

i am driving in my car
all alone
i could keep driving
or i could go home
there is nothing to be proven
there is nothing to be sown
and i wont let any body know what i know

you traveled so far
it is such a shame
that true love is still such a game
if you let it it will
always be the same
i hope in the end
i am alright
and every one else
can sleep tight
but i know , but i know it is only a dream, only a dream
i tried to cross that rive
i tried to do it right
i knew you would be waiting
in the middle of the night
i kind of missed the buss
so you came to me instead
you made me want to swim
you took my heart to bed
i could have stopped it anytime
but i wanted you so bad
i quickly crossed the line
i smudged it with my foot
and i covered it up with leaves
i didn’t want to see it
when i came back for what i believe

i called you from the bluff while i was taking off my cloths
you know i see me as the river
and you cant swim and i didn’t know
so i teach you how to swim
and i kiss you one last time
i float on down the river
past everything we know

a river of emotions. the guitar and lyric flow through the mind. they embody powerful desire. she knows you. you cannot say no to her. it is a very good song. 0x0

This one has a really nice vibe; the marriage of vocals, melody, production, lyrics, and playing go really well together.

smudged it with my foot, covered it up with leaves but came back to see what I believed. Love this line.

thanks it is always unexpected when a tune gains popularity. that song came together so quickly.it was truly inspired. that was a one take vocal. quit often i will harmonize with the main voice. but i knew soon after i recorded the first that that was enough i really appreciate your input and support tim
