Mark Knopfler - Let the River Flow lyrics

[Verse 1] A full moon tide sweeps in To wash the sand to white A fairytale Keeps a child wide eyed at night A golden band Could bring such happiness A dream of you and me Or a haven for times of loneliness [Chorus A] Won't you take my hand at the picture show? I love to sit with you and let the river flow Let the river flow [Verse 2] I hear a church bell ring There's people searching for the Holy Ghost But now our daily bread Ooh, it gets delivered like the morning post Rock of Ages pa**, they pa** Like ships that dance by in the night This dream keeps haunting me Only to get shattered by the first morning light [Chorus A] Won't you take my hand at the picture show? I love to sit with you and let the river flow Let the river flow [Verse 3] Well, it makes no sense to me So close, yet so far apart A sailor lost at sea With the promise from his lover's heart I can't stop this circle of fear Ooh, I'm like a priest who's confessing alone At the end of the street a dark man appears And he cuts me right through to the bone [Chorus B] Won't you take my hand at the picture show? So good to sit with you and let the river flow Let the river flow [Outro] And let the river flow And let the river flow And let the river flow And let the river flow
