Push the River Lyrics

I've been asleep ten thousand lifetimes
And I see you in my dreams
And when I awake to the sound of your voice
Every ancient prisoner goes free
Each ancient prisoner goes free

Now I see that you can't push the river
Now I know that you can't jump the gun
I'm living proof that you can't push the river
And gather all the things to come

I breath in the sight of you
For my tired eyes
I can wonder through your words
Though you cannot hold me tonight
No you cannot hold me tonight

Now I see that you can't push the river
Now I know that you can't jump the gun
I'm living proof that you can't push the river
And gather all the things to come

I will not betray my soul
It lives inside the truth
And though our hands are held apart
'Til I die I'll wait for you
'Til I die I'll wait for you

Now I see that you can't push the river
Now I know that you can't jump the gun
I'm living proof that you can't push the river
And gather all the things to come
