Moody Blues, The - Running Water Lyrics






Time hurries on
Look and it's gone
The changing of the autumn tide
The hopes that live
The dreams that die
If I could have you by my side
I'd give it all away

You you and I
We must hold on
We must try
To reach beyond that far off cloud
Along the road we're travellin now
If I could only show you how
I need you there with me

Oh running water
Don't care what people say
We live to love another day
Oh running water
Don't throw your love away
We live to love another day

Time hurries on
Turn around and it's gone
If only we could hold that dream
If only life was what it seemed
I know my darling what you mean
I've seen it slip away

Oh running water
Don't care what people say
We live to love another day
Oh running water
Don't throw your love away
We live to love another day

    Time hurries on
    Look and it's gone
    The changing of the autumn tide
    The hopes that live
    The dreams that die
    If I could have you by my side
    I'd give it all away

    You you and I
    We must hold on
    We must try
    To reach beyond that far off cloud
    Along the road we're travellin now
    If I could only show you how
    I need you there with me

    Oh running water

    We live to love another day
    Oh running water
    Don't throw your love away
    We live to love another day

    When my wife of 37 years and I hit tough spots (few, fortunately), I listen to this and it inspires me to hold on. I love her dearly and couldn’t go on without her. Great music helps to keep things in perspective.

    We live to love another day....

    Mesmerisingly lovely.  Such beauty from the Moody Blues. Nothing surprising there;everything they ever did was nothing less than magical and emotionally heart-reaching.
       I have "loved" them from my 'teens and they still have the power to raise goose-bumps on listening to absolutely any song,with their wonderful lyrics,haunting music and vocals.   Beautiful.  K x

    Wonderful song by the Moodys. One of my favourites from this great album and, together with HAD TO FALL IN LOVE, a true gift from legendary brit masters.

  9. K.... L....

    I enjoy listening to most of the songs on this album. This album is as good as "Seventh Sojourn" and "The Voice". They are classics.

  10. 0.... ....

    Justin shines !!!what agreat voice

  11. p.... ....

    simply the best moody song... beautiful!

  12. f.... ....

    I used to love this album. I can just get so lost in Justins voice!

  13. B.... P....

    Justin Hayward IS the voice of The Moody Blues...he's the most under-appreciated artists and guitar players ever.
    Why aren't The Moodies in R &R HOF?

  14. M.... M....

    love this song, could listean to justin sing all day and every day!!!!!

  15. A.... G....

    This brings me back to when I was in love for the first time! Great song that means so much.

  16. M.... L....

    A beautiful song from an underappreciated album. I was slow to rank this album as anything but their worst at the time, but this and Blue Guitar is up there with their best stuff.

    M.... L....

    I loved this album from the first time I heard it. Almost as much as TOCCC and LDV and DOFP!
