Emeli Sandé – River lyrics
If you're lookin' for the big adventure,
And gold is all that's on your mind,
If you want someone to take your picture,
Then I won't waste your time

See maybe I'm too quiet for ya,
You probably never noticed me,
But if you're too big to follow rivers,
How you ever gonna find the sea

So follow me, I'll be your river river,
I'll do the running for ya, follow me,
I'll be your river river, I'll move the mountains for ya,
Follow me, I'll be your river river,
I'm here to keep you flowing, follow me,
I'll be your river river, river river, yea

If all you want are answers to your questions,
And you can't seem to find the love, for free,
You're lookin' for the right direction,
Then darling look for me

See, I can make the load much lighter,
I just need you to confide in me,
But if you're to big to follow rivers,
How are you ever gonna find the sea

So follow me, I'll be your river river, yea
I'll do the running for ya, follow me,
I'll be your river river, yea, I'll move the mountains for ya,
Follow me, I'll be your river river,
I'm here to keep you flowing, follow me,
I'll be your river river, river river yea

Where ever you are standing,
I will be by your side,
Through the good through the bad, I'll never be hard to find,
So where ever you are standing, yea,
I will be by your side,
Through the good through the bad, I'll never be hard to find,

So follow me, I'll be your river river, yea
I'll do the running for ya, follow me,
I'll be your river river, yea, I'll move the mountains for ya,
Follow me, I'll be your river river,
I'm here to keep you flowing, follow me,
I'll be your river river, river river yea

Where ever you'll be standing,
I will be by your side,
Through the good through the bad, I will never be hard to find

    I've been going through a very difficult time in my life, I've had hard times but this is definitely the hardest in my life, I first heard this song when I was told my mum might not make it out of her coma, I listened to this song everytime I was sat in the waiting room or on the train to see her, though she is now home she is still very ill and this song just seems to comfort me and give me hope. It still brings me to tears every time I listen to it. X
