Heather Nova - The river of life

I wanted to feel like a bird
On the wings of time
But it was not our time

I wanted to lie for a while
In the fields and dream
But it was not to be, oh yeah

'Cause sometimes you got to let love go
Even though it's hurting, even though
And sometimes you got to let love slide
Oh, with the river
The river of life I wanted to hold you so long
In the dark till dawn
But I could feel you go

I wanted to sing
In my head I could hear a song
But it was not our song, oh yeah

'Cause sometimes you got to let love go
Even though it's hurting, even though
And sometimes you got to let love slide
Oh, with the river
The river of life

Sometimes you got to let love go
Even though it's hurting, even though
And sometimes you got to let love slide
Oh, with the river
The river of life
Oh yeah
But sometimes you got to let love slide
Oh, with the river
The river of life
The river of life
