I'll be there like the morning sun
I'll be gone like that river runs
If it's not what you wished for
Late night, it keeps you up
Until the sun comes up
Let the river run

Tell my secrets
By these words I've sworn
Time is keeping
But I am moving on

I'll be there like the morning sun
I'll be gone like that river runs
When it's not what you wished for
Late night, it keeps you up
Let the morning come
Let the river run

Tell my best friends
I am leaving town
I hope I let you down gently
Hope your feelings are found

Yeah, I'll be there like the morning sun
I'll be gone like that river runs
When it's not what you wished for
Late night, it keeps you up
Let the morning come
Let the river run

And the river runs
But the river runs you down
Where the fire won't go
Where the answers lie
Between the darkness glow
When you can't decide
And when you can't let go

I'll be there like the morning sun
I'll be gone like that river runs
If it's not what you wished for
Late night, it keeps you up
Let the morning come
Let the river run

The river runs
On the shallow shores
As that river dries
Like a silent voice
Telling simple lies

I'll be there like the morning sun
I'll be gone like that river runs
If it's not what you wished for
Late night, it keeps you up
Let the morning come

I'll be there like the morning sun
I'll be gone like that river runs
When it's not what you wished for
Late night, it keeps you up
Let the morning come
Let the river run
Let the river run
