Slow rivers

Duet with Cliff Richards
The weather man he looks confused
Shakes his fist at the sky like you used to do
But you don´t remember things like that do you
The balance was uneven but I´m breaking through
Slow rivers run cold
Shallow waters never sank so low
I thought I´d drown and you´d never know
You´re a slow river and you run so cold
The winter here don´t believe in God
The bitter wind just bites through me like a wild dog
I still see your eyes tonight like headlights through the fog
But one foot in your door oh that´s all I ever got
Chances are you´ll reappear
Swim my way in a flood of tears
No place to hide your conscience so
You´re a sinking ship with no place to go
The weather man he looks confused
Shakes his fist at the sky like you used to do
But you don´t remember things like that do you
The balance was uneven but I´m breaking through
Slow rivers run cold
Shallow waters never sank so low
I thought I´d drown and you´d never know
You´re a slow river and you run so cold
The winter here don´t believe in God
The bitter wind just bites through me like a wild dog
I still see your eyes tonight like headlights through the fog
But one foot in your door oh that´s all I ever got
Chances are you´ll reappear
Swim my way in a flood of tears
No place to hide your conscience so
You´re a sinking ship with no place to go
