Lyrics of River by Bishop
hook
Like a river, like a river, sh-
Like a river, like a river, sh-
Like a river, like a river
Shut your mouth and run me like a river
verse
How do we fall in love?
Harder than a bullet could hit ya
How do we fall apart?
Faster than a hairpin trigger
pre-chorus
Don′t you say, don't you say it
Don′t say, don't you say it
One breath, it'll just break it
So shut your mouth and run me like a river
chorus
Shut your mouth, baby, stand and deliver
Holy hands, will they make me a sinner?
Like a river, like a river
Shut your mouth and run me like a river
Choke this love ′til the veins start to shiver
One last breath ′til the tears start to wither
Like a river, like a river
Shut your mouth and run me like a river
verse
Tales of an endless heart
Cursed is the fool who's willing
Can′t change the way we are
One kiss away from killing
pre-chorus
Don't you say, don′t you say it
Don't say, don′t you say it
One breath, it'll just break it
So shut your mouth and run me like a river
chorus
Shut your mouth, baby, stand and deliver
Holy hands, will they make me a sinner?
Like a river, like a river
Shut your mouth and run me like a river
Choke this love 'til the veins start to shiver
One last breath ′til the tears start to wither
Like a river, like a river
Shut your mouth and run me like a river
hook
Like a river, like a river, sh-
Like a river, like a river, sh-
Like a river, like a river
Shut your mouth and run me like a river
bridge
Hey! Oh
Hey! Oh
(run me like a river)
Hey! Oh
Oh
(run me like a river, like a river)
chorus
Shut your mouth, baby, stand and deliver
(stand and deliver)
Holy hands, will they make me a sinner?
(Oh, make me a sinner)
Like a river, like a river
Shut your mouth and run me like a river
Choke this love ′til the veins start to shiver
One last breath 'til the tears start to wither
(ooh)
Like a river, like a river
Shut your mouth and run me like a river
