If you need water   I'll be your river   Like a wave I will come over you   You need someone to fall into   I'll be your river   And my love will carry you through      You like the flame and you are drawn by desire    Watching and waiting in line for your turn   I've learned to walk with my back to the fire   I like the heat but I don't want to get burned      And if you need water   I'll be your river   Like a wave I will come over you   You need someone to fall into   I'll be your river   And my love will carry you through      Here stands a fortress built with great walls of silence   Ready to crumble at the slightest word   Finding the right one is becoming a science   I'd like to scream but I ain't gonna be heard      And if you need water   I'll be your river   Like a wave I will come over you   You need someone to fall into   I'll be your river   And my love will carry you through...      What if all of these feelings   that we both buy into   melt away and disappear      If you need water   I'll be your river   Like a wave I will come over you   You need someone to fall into   I'll be your river   And my love will carry you through   My love will carry you through   My love will carry you through
