Only The Young - Hold Back The River

(Charlie)
I try to keep you close to me,
But life got in between
I try to square not being there
But think that I, I should have been

Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
(Charlie & Betsy Blue)
Hold back the river so I
(All)
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back

(Mikey)
Once upon a different life
We rode our bikes into the sky
But now we call against the tide
Those distant days are flashing by

(All)
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold back
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back

Lonely water, lonely water
Won't you let us wander?
Let us hold each other
Lonely water, lonely water
Won't you let us wander?
Let us hold each other

(Charlie)
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
(Charlie & Betsy Blue)
Hold back the river so I
(All)
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back

Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold back

Lonely water, lonely water
Won't you let us wander?
Let us hold each other
Lonely water, lonely water
Won't you let us wander?
Let us hold each other
