Flowing Rivers

Flowing Rivers - Andy Gibb

The stage is set another show must go on

The spotlight's burning down into my face

The drummer sits up high upon his rostrum

Guitarists play each other face to face

And when it's over I'll stop and wonder

And never understand

'Cause leaving this was never in my plans

And when I'm playing all I see is things

You'll never find

Flowing rivers passing through my mind

Deceiving and receiving was my pastime

To every girl who liked my written lines

They'd think that any moment I'd be their guy

But crying never justified my lies oh no

And next time 'round will be the same

They never understand that

Hurting them was never in my plans

My songs will slow like passing clouds

Something in each line

Flowing rivers passing through my mind

I've got to go I've finished what I came for

Playing every city state to state

Singing every town that learned to like me

Modest payments paid for what I ate

Ah you're standing there tears in your eyes

You once called me a man

And loving you was never in my plans

We'll go together you and I till we both find

Flowing rivers passing through my mind

We'll go together you and I till we both find

Flowing rivers passing through my mind
