Civil Twilight

River Child

Civil Twilight


I never had a chance babe
My soul was chained and locked away
But some sort of miracle
Found me on that lonely day
Never thought it would be this easy
Never thought I would hear myself say
I would hear myself say

I'm running free, I'm running wild
I'm running like a river child
I'm running free, I'm running wild

Somewhere in the darkness
Somewhere in the distance
A voice is being born
From the life in your kiss
And all the valleys that were in my way
Lead me to this day
Lead me to this day

I'm feeling this way
I'm running free, I'm running wild

I'm running like a river child
I'm running free, I'm running wild

Somewhere in the morning
I feel a heat falling over me
Don't move your hand away
Without it I would surely break
Without it I would surely break

Somewhere in the morning
I feel a heat falling over me
The man that couldn't run
Is moving like a blazing sun
Like a blazing sun

I'm feeling this way
I'm running free, I'm running wild
I'm running like a river child
I'm running free, I'm running wild
