Lyrics Beverley Knight – Wild River

There are days I hold my breath
So I stop, I’m screaming out
At the things that people say
When they think no one’s about

Heaven knows I’ve done my best
It’s all anyone can do
Every day is like a test
Measuring the ones that knew you
There are nights I fall asleep
And I drift on dreamless foam
Where the water’s warm and deep
Takes me where I want to go

Wild river
Take me home
I need to find my place
Where I belong
Wild river
Take me home
To a land where I’m embraced
Where I’m not alone

Take me to the open air
Where there’s room for all to breathe
I can walk without a care
Every sigh is my relief
How I long to hear the phrase
«How you doing? Come on in»

Why’s it so hard to find,
In a city full of clocks
Anybody with the time
To save you from your ??
There are nights I fall asleep
And the dream’s so real to me
‘Cause the water’s warm and deep
Takes me to where I am free

Wild river
Take me home
I need to find my place
Where I belong
Wild river
Take me home
To a land where I’m embraced
Where I’m not alone

Oh, no
Oh, no
Oh…

Oh, wild (wild) river (river)
Take me home
I need to find my place
Where I belong
Wild river
Take me home
To a land where I’m embraced
Where I’m not alone
Oh, no
Oh, no
