Lyrics

I can see you've been crying again
You can't hide that cause I know your eyes
I'd be the last one who'd condemn
You for your hiding and your colorful lies
Once again you packed your bags
And you kiss the dog goodbye
You say I love you but I can't go on
And I know you're so damn right

Hold back the river
Don‘t let it flow
Hold back the river
Please don't go
We'll find a way
There's still hope
Hold back the river

Remember when we went down to that lake
Skinny dipping in the pale moonlight
We were so drunk that we lost our clothes
But we found love that night
Go with me to that place again
To where it all began
I'll dip my head into the lake
And come out a better man
You could love again

Hold back the river
Don‘t let it flow
Please don't go
We'll find a way
Hold back the river

I know you know we've had our crazy ways
And more than once did I fall from grace
I took for granted all of the love you gave

Hold back the river
Don't let it flow
Hold back the river
Please don't go
We'll find a way, there's still hope
Hold back the river

Hold back the river
We'll find a way
