Time is a river babe moving so fast Over the banks of the bodies we have Time is a river babe we don’t know how deep We wade in and get swept off our feet Time is a river babe over my head Capsized our boat and there’s no turning back Time is a river babe carving a path Flood it may flow to the ocean at last Oh white water, wearing you and I But we’ve got to try To hold that line Make moments last, before they have passed But it’s running fast Time is a river babe, slipping thru cracks Days are but grains in the old hourglass Time is a river babe drowning our plans Treading the currents we reach for the land Time is a river babe picking up speed There’s never enough to take all that you need Time is a river babe and it’s sink or swim No anchor will hold as we’re carried within
