It was the year of the river
And in the rush it seemed
Everything I loved
Was moving away from me
And on the banks I watched
As the waters rose
When the rocks gave way
Had to learn to let go
And if love is a surrender
Then I cannot recall
If I've ever let go quite enough
To be in love at all
Love at all
It was the year of the flood
Rain, three hundred sixty-five days
She said 'call me back, when you're
Ready to think of someone else for a change'
So I pulled on the thread
From the edge of my sleeve
Until my heart
Unraveled in me
And if love is a surrender
Then I cannot recall
If I've ever let go quite enough
To be in love at all
And if love is wild
Gotta ride it while you can
Let it roll on 'till it ends
Was the year of the river
And in the rush it seemed
Everything I loved
Was moving away from me
Moving away from me
Moving away from me
Moving away from me
