There is a secret
A
I found a secret
A B E
Behind a Soho door
A
There is a reason
A
I found a reason
A B E
Beneath the subway floor
A
I found the water
A
The devils water
A B E
And walked along its shore
B
Is that what you want?
A
The channel's changing
A
The heart is racing
A B E
From voices on a wire
A
The soul is yearning
A
The cold is burning
A B E
The ember starts a fire
A
Can we recover
A
Love for each other
A B E
The measure of your life
B
Is that what you want?
B
Is that what you really want
A
A river
E
A river

A river running under ground
