Slow Rivers (with Cliff Richard) Songtext

von Elton John

Elton:

The weatherman he looks confused
Shakes his fist at the sky
Like you used to do

Cliff:

But you don't remember things like that do you
The balance was uneven but I'm breaking through

Both:

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

Cliff:

The winter here don't believe in God
The bitter wind just bites through me like a wild dog

Elton:

I still see your eyes tonight like headlights through the fog
But one foot in your door oh that's all I ever got

Both:

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

Both:

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

Both:

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
