Cyndi Lauper I'll Be Your River song lyrics

If you need water, I'll be your river

Like a wave I will come over you

You need someone to fall into, I'll be your river

And my love will carry you through

You like the flame and you are drawn by desire

Watchin' and waitin' in line for your turn

I've learned to walk with my back to the fire

I like the heat but I don't wanna get burned

And if you need water, I'll be your river

Like a wave I will come over you

You need someone to fall into, I'll be your river

And my love will carry you through

Here stands a fortress built with great walls of silence

Ready to crumble at the slightest word

Finding the right one is becoming a science

I'd like to scream but I ain't gonna be heard

And if you need water, I'll be your river

Like a wave I will come over you

You need someone to fall into, I'll be your river

And my love will carry you through

What if all these fields

That we both fly into

Melt away and disappear?

If you need water, I'll be your river

Like a wave I will come over you

You need someone to fall into, I'll be your river

And my love will carry you, my love will carry you

My love will carry you through
