Sometimes you just turn around, there's an open door
Sometimes you keep waiting around, you don't know what for
Sometimes it seems like there's nothing, then somebody appears
They walk right to your heart with just a couple words

We went down by the river and she looked me in the eye
She said it's gonna be alright baby, it's gonna be alright

I was drifting on a sinking ship, yeah i lost my way
The sun the sea the earth and the sky, all turn to gray
Hours seem like days sometimes, days feel like years
There's no telling where it goes, it just disappears

We went down by the river and she looked me in the eye
She said it's gonna be alright baby, it's gonna be alright

I wanted to tell you the secrets I keep from you
wanted to tell you

I was thinking bout day we met, I was looking at your hands
I was hoping you would just reach out, and give me a chance
Sometimes you just turn around, there's an open door
Sometimes you keep waiting around, you don't know what for

We went down by the river and she looked me in the eye
She said it's gonna be alright baby, it's gonna be alright
