Lyrics
Please believe me
The river told me
Very softly
Want you to hold me, oooh.

Free fall flow, river flow
On and on it goes
Breath under water 'till the end;
Free fall flow, river flow
On and on it goes
Breath under water 'till the end
Yes, teh river knows.

Please believe me
If you don't need me
I'm going, but i need a little time
I promised I would drown myself
in mysticated wine.

Please believe me
The river told me
Very softly
Want you to hold me. oooh.

I'm going, but i need a little time
I promised I would drown myself
in mysticated wine.

Free fall flow, river flow
On and on it goes
Breath under water 'till the end;
Free fall flow, river flow
On and on it goes
Breath under water 'till the end.
