Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

 There's a river of love that runs through all times.

There's a river of grief that floods through our lives.

 It starts when a heart gets broken in two

 By the thief of belief in anything that's true.

 But there's a river of love that runs through all times.

Verse 2

There's a river of love that runs through all times.

 But there's a river of tears that flows through our eyes.

 We fight through the night for freedom as it fades

 Into a jail where we fail every time we make a break.

 But there's a river of love that runs through all times.

Instrumental verse

Bridge

I had to run before I knew how to crawl.

 The first step was hard, but I've had trouble with them all.

 But now the night grows darker and the day grows dim

And I know I never will see you again.

 And I always made you happy.

Verse 3

There's a river of love that runs through all times.

 There's a river of fire that burns with no light.

 The flame is the pain of dreams gone up in smoke.

 >From the lies we deny and we breathe them 'til we choke.

 But there's a river of love that runs through all times.
