Holding Back the River (LP版)

Holding Back the River (LP版) - Luka Bloom

Like an arc two lovers come

From their own place beneath the sun

That shines on individual souls

Feeds us keeps each one of us whole

Two hearts don't beat as one

Each one listens to our own drum

Slowly we come to touch

To share the fruit we want so much

We have been holding back the river

We almost drowned before

But love has changed forever

It's taking prisoners no more

So we walk to the Grand Canal

A Dublin woman and a country pal

Where the city is such a perfect place

Swans glide in total grace

Kavanagh sits in a morning dream

Smiles at the familiar scene

Of your brown eyes your red hair

Your voice so soft your skin so fair

We have been holding back the river

We almost drowned before

But love has changed forever

It's taking prisoners no more

Hmmm Hmmm Hmmm

We have been holding back the river

We almost drowned before

But love has changed forever

It's taking prisoners no more

I love you

I love you

Hmmm
