Where Rivers Run Green

Paddy Gibney


When this life scares me 
Into your arms I run 
I run to your green fields 
And your skies of vacant sun 

As the shadows crawl across your face 
A soft rain does fall 
And I can see you from the clouds in the sky 
I have come to heed your call 

Ageless streets, A simple life 
Rainy Days and Rainy nights 
Oh how long must I fight this fight? 
I'm losing sight of all my dreams 
Where rivers run green 

When first I left your warm embrace 
My life had just begun 
And if they question who I am 
I will answer I am your son 

My heart, it longs for rest and peace 
But I find myself in two (torn in two) 
Torn between a place that I love 
And what I have to do 

Ageless streets, a simple life 
Those rainy days bring those rainy nights 
Oh how long must I fight this fight? 
I'm losing sight of all you mean 
Where rivers run green 

Oh how long must I fight this fight? 
I'm losing sight or so it seems 
Where the rivers run green 
Where the rivers run green 
Where the rivers run green 
Where the rivers run green
