The River in Your Eyes
No matter what goes by you and I can't deny itOh, I remember you as falling rainEverywhere we go the wind will whisper and remind usAnd you'll remember meAnd I will never let you fade awayThere was a storm on the way, crashing hard across the prairieThe Llano Estacado that dayI turned my back to the wind, tried to get out of the weatherBut there is no place to hide on the plainsIf I can make twenty miles, I can roll into the canyonAnd hide under a ledge up aboveLet the hail stones fall, I'll watch them from my cavernAnd think about the way it all wasWhere the river in your eyes was liquefied diamondsThe water in your hair flowed down you like wineAnd I drank up every drop 'til I was out of my mindThat's how much I was alive when I had you beside meWhen the storm finally passed and I stepped out of the shadowsI knew I could still smell your hairEven so many years since you wrapped your arms around meIt does not matter at all - you are thereSongtexteWhere the river in your eyes was liquefied diamondsThe water in your hair flowed down you like wineAnd I drank up every drop 'til I was out of my mindThat's how much I was alive when I had you beside meNo matter what goes by you and I can't deny itOh, I remember you as falling rainEverywhere we go the wind will whisper and remind usAnd you'll remember meAnd I will never let you fade awayAs I rise to the plains and I roll across the prairieThose shimmering stars in the darkKeep me holding on the the time we knew togetherAnd the day you broke through the dam in my heartWhere the river in your eyes was liquefied diamondsThe water in your hair flowed down you like wineAnd I drank up every drop 'til I was out of my mindThat's how much I was alive when I had you beside me Aus Songtexte Mania
