I built a raft out of a broken heart,
|
Gathered the pieces that love had torn apart,
|
So I'd never get carried away again like that.
|
Tired of falling in and so I built a raft.
|
But your love was a river I couldn't cross.
|
You swept me over your waterfall.
|
Now I'm at your mercy, there's no turning back,
|
'Cause your love was a river too strong for this old raft.
|
These planks and ropes have seen some storms.
|
The rudder's gone, the sail is torn.
|
So wherever you run, I'm bound to roam,
|
With this old heart of planks and ropes.
|
'Cause your love was a river I couldn't cross.
|
You swept me over your waterfall.
|
Now I'm at your mercy, there's no turning back,
|
'Cause your love was a river too strong for this old raft.
|
If 10,000 miles is how far you go,
|
You'll never again have to be alone.
|
Through long, dark canyons to desert floors,
|
I'll be your friend 'til that golden shore.
|
'Cause your love was a river I couldn't cross.
|
You swept me over your waterfall.
|
Now I'm at your mercy and I ain't turning back,
|
'Cause your love was a river too strong for this old raft.
|
Yeah, your love was a river too strong for this old raft.
