Slow Rivers Lyrics by Elton John
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
The weather man he looks confused
Shakes his fist at the sky like you used to do
But you don't remember things like that do you
The balance was uneven but I'm breaking through

Slow rivers run cold
Shallow waters never sank so low
I thought I'd drown and you'd never know
You're a slow river and you run so cold

The winter here don't believe in God
The bitter wind just bites through me like a wild dog
I still see your eyes tonight like headlights through the fog
But one foot in your door oh that's all I ever got

Chances are you'll reappear
Swim my way in a flood of tears
No place to hide your conscience so
You're a sinking ship with no place to go
The weather man he looks confused   Shakes his fist at the sky like you used to do   But you don't remember things like that do you   The balance was uneven but I'm breaking through      Slow rivers run cold   Shallow waters never sank so low   I thought I'd drown and you'd never know   You're a slow river and you run so cold      The winter here don't believe in God   The bitter wind just bites through me like a wild dog   I still see your eyes tonight like headlights through the fog   But one foot in your door oh that's all I ever got      Chances are you'll reappear   Swim my way in a flood of tears   No place to hide your conscience so   You're a sinking ship with no place to go
