Strange Rivers

There are voices in the mirror
Faces at the door
That open on the rivers
We've never seen before

Are there choices for the sparrow
Or does he only fly
High above the rivers
That are pulling you and I

Oh, there are strange rivers
Rivers that we cannot see
There are strange rivers
Who know our destiny
There are strange rivers
Who brought your love to me...

He could have been a builder
He could have been the one
Who turned his dreams to steel
Cathedrals in the sun

He could have been a builder
Until he bought the gun
There are forces in that river
That keep him on the run

Oh, there are strange rivers
Rivers that we cannot see
There are strange rivers
Who know our destiny
There are strange rivers
Who brought your love to me...

Have you ever turned the corner
And wondered why you did?
You haven't been that way
Since you were just a kid

Nothing really happens
And then you have to say
You wonder what would happen
Had you gone the other way

Oh, there are strange rivers
Rivers that we cannot see
There are strange rivers
Who know our destiny
There are strange rivers
Who brought your love to me...

There are strange rivers
There are strange rivers
There are strange rivers...
