Carly Simon Let the River Run song lyrics
Let the river run
let all the dreamers wake the nation
Come, the New Jerusalem.
Silver cities rise
the morning lights the streets that lead them
and sirens call them on with a song
It's asking for the taking
trembling
shaking
Oh, my heart is aching
We're coming to the edge
running on the water
coming through the fog
your sons and daughters
We the great and small
stand on a star
and blaze a trail of desire
through the darkening dawn
It's asking for the taking
Come run with me now
the sky is the colour of blue
you've never even seen
in the eyes of your lover
Oh, my heart is aching
We're coming to the edge
running on the water
coming through the fog
your sons and daughters
It's asking for the taking
trembling, shaking
Oh, my heart is aching
We're coming to the edge
running on the water
coming through the fog
your sons and daughters
Let the river run
let all the dreamers
wake the nation
Come, the New Jerusalem
