DAN FOGELBERG lyrics - Shallow Rivers

Shallow rivers run between us where a stone may never sink

Though we taste, we are left thirsty for a deep and soulful drink

Narrow channels, barely open, fraught with dangers out of view

In the current, we are helpless - still I cling to you



[Chorus:]

Grab me woman, take me under 'til I can't tell up from down

We have barely got our feet wet and I want, I want to drown

Shallow rivers run between us never mind the nevermore

Up ahead the water quickens; I can hear those rapids roar

Narrow channels, barely open, flood the waves with treachery

How I long to see the sunrise on a peaceful sea



[Chorus]
