Hold Back the River Lyrics

Initial riff:
Verse 1: Mainly just played with the riff in the background
Tried to keep you close to me,
But life got in between
Tried to square not being there
But think that I should have been.
Chorus: Single strokes
Hold back the river let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back
Verse 2:
Once upon a different life
We rode our bikes into the sky
Now we call against the tide
Those distant days are flashing by
Chorus:
Hold back the river let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back
Refrain:
Hold oho, oho, oho, oho, oho, oho
Lonely water, lonely water won't you let us wander, let us hold each other
Lonely water, lonely water won't you let us wander, let us hold each other
