David Crosby - River Rise lyrics

[Verse 1] It's late in California The voices are speaking low And the winds line up Point the direction they wanna go The cold is hanging on now The heat will be here soon And those same old thoughts Coming back around like a black moon [Chorus] Let the river rise Open up the skies Not gonna wash away Let the waters come down Turn around into a fortress Let the river rise Open up the sky Time won't slip away Let the clock run out Don't care about it, not today [Verse 2] The goldеn light surrounding A sea of humanity And the wind has its own language Spokеn by the trees Diamonds shine forever Underneath the twilight sky As the day grows near I start to believe always one more try [Chorus] Let the river rise Open up the skies Not gonna wash away Let the waters come down Turn around into a fortress Let the river rise Open up the sky Time won't slip away Let the clock run out Don't care about it, not today [Bridge] Coming in too fast For an easy landing It's out of my heart It's out of my head It's out of my hands [Chorus] Let the river rise Open up the skies Not gonna wash away Let the waters come down Turn around into a fortress Let the river rise Open up the sky Time won't slip away Let the clock run out Don't care about it, not today [Outro] Let the river rise Let the clock run out (Let the clock run out) Let the river rise (Let it rise, yeah) Let the clock run out
