Time is a river, babe, moving so fast
Over the banks of the bodies we have
Time is a river, babe, we don’t know how deep
We wade in and get swept off our feet

Time is a river, babe, over my head
Capsized our boat and there’s no turning back
Time is a river, babe, carving a path
Flood it may flow to the ocean at last

Oh white water, wearing you and I
But we’ve got to try to hold that line
Make moments last, before they have passed
But it’s running fast
it’s running fast

Time is a river, babe, slipping thru cracks
Days are but grains in the old hourglass
Time is a river, babe, drowning our plans
Treading the currents we reach for the land

Oh white water, wearing you and I
But we’ve got to try to hold that line
Make moments last, before they have passed
But it’s running fast
It’s running fast

Time is a river, babe, picking up speed
There’s never enough to take all that you need
Time is a river, babe, and it’s sink or swim
No anchor will hold as we’re carried within

Oh white water, wearing you and I
But we’ve got to try to hold that line
Make moments last, before they have passed

Oh white water, wearing you and I
But we’ve got to try to hold that line
Make moments last, before they have passed
But it’s running fast
It’s running fast
It’s running fast
Oh, it’s running fast
And It's running
