Down This River Lyrics

All this time Jack has to sit upon the sand

While the Ocean rolls, into his hands

And all of these feelings, that cause him very much pain

Crash upon him now, just like a wave

It's just the way it goes, just the way time bends

Well I know we've had a lot of fun, but all good things must end

And everything that's gold, gems and pearls too

All the riches of the universe, they are temporary too

So Jack didn't really know that life doesn't wait

Rivers they flow, into the Ocean

And like Autumn leaves

Raindrops they fall, bringing teardrops from Heaven

All this time Jane has to sit and wonder why

While several teardrops fall, from her eyes

And all of these memories, keep droppin' in (and pourin') like rain

Forming puddles now, in her brain

It's just the way it goes, just the way time bends

Well I know we've had a lot of fun, but all good things must end

And everything that's gold, gems in powder blue

All the riches of the universe, they are temporary too

So Jane didn't really know that life doesn't wait

Rivers they flow, into the Ocean

But lime blue skies

And friends all around, make these memories golden

It's not the way you want it, it's not the way it seems

When the wind goes back and forth, it floats across your memory

It's not the way you want it, it's not the way it seems

When the wind goes back and forth, it floats across your memory
