Hold Back the River Lyrics

Tried to keep you close to me
But life got inbetween
Tried to square not being there
But think that I should have been

Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back

Once upon a different life
We rode our bikes into the sky
But now we crawl against the time
Those distant days are flashing by

Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold back

Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
Stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Lonely water, lonely water
Won't you let us wonder
Let us hold each other
Lonely water, lonely water
Won't you let us wonder
Let us hold each other

Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold back

Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, oh
Lonely water, lonely water
Won't you let us wander
Let us hold each other
Lonely water, lonely water
Won't you let us wander
Let us hold each other

James Bay (born 4 September 1990) is an artist who possesses that untarnished strain of talent that many newcomers lose as they develop over time. His raw expressions and graveled voice work in a magical unison that captivates audiences and strips pop melodies back to a skeletal efficiency. Hailing from Hitchin, Hertfordshire, James is a young singer-songwriter who has already gained a great reputation thanks to stints at Communion's monthly night at Notting Hill Arts Club in London and a hugely successful run of support slots with Tom Odell, John Newman and Kodaline. He issued his debut EP, The Dark of the Morning, in 2013, with a second extended player, Let It Go, and a third extended player, Hold Back the River, arriving the following year.
