The Current, The River And The Undertow

Fix my hair, close the latch on the gate
I fly across this town ‘cause I don’t want to be late
And pull up to your house and your dad is staring holes through me
We see a movie, spent all that I had
You say romantic comedies these days make you sad
Just empty and lonely, wishing for a world like that

I could never let you go
You are the current, the river and the undertow
I could never let you go
You are the current, the river and the undertow

A white dress and the cutting of cake
A little house on seventh as the snow starts to flake
Pretty soon that house is full of diapers and crying things
Our daughter has a game so we load up the van
The joy upon her face it keeps us warm in the stands
And the boy is touring colleges life just moves as fast as it can

I could never let you go
You are the current, the river and the undertow
Darling I could never let you go
You are the current, the river and the undertow

They gather ‘round as I’m slipping away
My hair that was so blonde has now all faded to grey
I’m so proud of the man and the woman you’ve come to be
My love is wearing blue like she was when we met
She grabs on to my hand and holds it tight to her chest
And the sound of her heartbeat leads me toward whatever’s next

I will never let you go
You are the current, the river and the undertow
I will never let you go
You are the current, the river and the undertow

Darling I will never let you go
You are the current, the river and the undertow
I will never let you go
You are the current, the river and the undertow
