every river Lyrics

I walk my own way and seize my own fortune

There's nothing I'm affording to lean upon

Looking back we were wild and we were free

Every river must meet the sea

She plays her own hand

And she looks her own way

I was always coming

Just running a little late

Then she said goodbye

She said it so sweet

Guess every river

Must meet the sea

If I could then I would

Stay for another

But I've got some other place to be

Don't you cry for me baby

Every river must meet the sea

I'll do my best

And get on with this living

Won't ask for no forgiveness

If you don't ask it of me

And I'll roll with the dice

And I will lay down my defences

'Cause every man needs some warm place to be

If I could then I would

Start it all over

But being in love don't mean as much as being free

So don't you cry for me baby

Every river must meet the sea

In years to come

I want you to write me a long love letter

About the people you met

And all the places that you've been

Maybe then, we'll understand it so much better

Once both our rivers have seen the sea

If I could then I would

Start it all over

But being in love don't mean as much as being free

So don't you cry for me baby

Every river must meet the sea
