Paroles de In The River

She's sitting on the counter with cotton 'tween her toes
He's thinking about leaving, and making it known
And while she waits she pulls a petal from a rose
He's summing up syllables and putting on his clothes
And out in woods where the white river flows
It's carrying something home

But don't forget, that he just needs a kind he's never met
He just needs a kind he's never met
And you know all the words, but you ain't really heard 'em yet

She wants to talk, she's a little bit scared
So she just keeps quiet and hopes he cares
And he thinks it over while he touches her hair
And he's gotta do it, though it's not fair
And out in the river there's rocks down
Where the sun can't point it's glare

But don't forget that he just needs a kind he's never met
He just needs a kind he's never met
And you know all the words, but you ain't really heard 'em yet

And on the floor she's crying and moaning “Just can't be so.
“Well, I tried to be the one that he wants.
“He told me but it can't be so.”
Well, it was more than one, and it was more than one at once He just needs a kind he's never met
And you know all the words, but ten thousand flowers can't dam a river
Can they, baby? Can they, darlin'?
No, ten thousand flowers can't dam a river
Now, baby
