i ll be a river

Cyndi Lauper

You like the flame and you are drawn by desire
Watching and waiting in line for your turn
I've learned to walk with my back to the fire
I like the heat but i don't want to get burned

And if you need water
I'll be a river
Like a wave i will come over you
You need someone to fall into
I'll be a river
And my love will carry you through

Here stands a fortress built with great walls of silence
Ready to crumble at the slightest word
Finding the right one is becoming a science
I'd like to scream but i ain't gonna be heard

And if you need water
I'll be a river
Like a wave i will come over you
You need someone to fall into
I'll be a river
And my love will carry you through
