Runrig - Every River Lyrics






You ask me to believe in magic
Expect me to commit suicide of the heart
And you ask me to play this game without question
Raising the stakes on this shotgun roulette

Every river I try to cross
Every hill I try to climb
Every ocean I try to swim
Every road I try to find
All the ways of my life
I'd rather be with you
There's no way
Without you

But you came to me like the ways of children
Simple as breathing, easy as air
Now the years hold no fears, like the wind they pass over
Loved, forgiven, washed, saved

Every river I try to cross
Every hill I try to climb
Every ocean I try to swim
Every road I try to find
All the ways of my life
I'd rather be with you
There's no way
Without you

  8. S.... A....

    Best of the best of 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🍻 boys thank youse for the years 👏👏👏👏👏

  9. a.... ....

    Brilliant group brilliant song thanks for posting

  10. w.... ....

    Donnie was great, but this song transcends whatever artist is singing this truly great song by a truly iconic band from the Isle of Skye.

  11. w.... ....

    This is our song.

  12. t.... k....

    Cant wait to see Bruce in december in Denmark, he is gonna sing some of runrigs songs yeah :-)

    t.... k....

    Would that be Tonder Fest.

  13. r.... c....

    I read the comments, and in fairness let's face it Donnie is a legend, but you know what Bruce hold your head up up sir, awesome voice and performance.

  14. r.... c....

    Awesome either singer both as worthy of position of runrig vocal artist title

  15. t.... ....

    Amazing song and incredible vocals. Very sad they disbanded, would have loved to see them live. Love from Amsterdam!

  16. A.... K....

    It is hard to believe that 102 people put thumbs down to this Beautiful Song, It is one of the very very best.

  17. C.... H....

    Beautiful <3

  18. J.... L....

    I was at the concert amazing

  19. C.... S....

    Simply great! A unique concert - we were there!

  20. D.... K....

    Not bad for a couple of lads from North Uist

  21. S.... ....

    This song isn't about Scotland, and the band and location being Scottish is completely irrelevant to the meaning of the words, so it seems somewhat odd that the comments only seem to express sentiment or patriotic fervour. In fact I wonder how many people would be so keen on it if they actually understood the lyrics..?

    S.... ....

    haters gonna hate

  22. m.... g....

    donnie munro's voice was always too sugary for me - thats why i dont like the old versions of many songs - and why do you think they rerecorded so many old songs with Bruce? he has a better voice - flat and all

  23. A.... V....

    As good as it gets  :-)

  24. T.... G....

    Grandios

  25. J.... R....

    My best friend and her partner and I were meant to meet up at this event but their car broke down and my Mum took ill so I didn't make it. This was played at her funeral - I don't care who sings it, it's the lyrics that count.

  26. b.... ....

    when Donnie left the band I felt a great loss and never thought runrig would be the same but bruce my friend, you have done it over and over again, Viva la Runrig

  27. B.... L....

    For me, Bruce is as great and brilliant as Donnie, I like his voice very much and him too, he is very sympathic!!!

  28. J.... S....

    He's awesome!

  29. j.... ....

    This is a great rendition... both singers have been amazing in their own way with Rory too !

  30. W.... W....

    immer noch ein fantastischer Song . Ich liebe ihn , wie viele andere Titel auch von RUNRIG4EVER !

  31. p.... b....

    I'll stand out in the rain with you x👍🏻

  46. W.... W....

    RUNRIG , I`ll never forget your songs *5

  47. A.... V....

    Bruce simply slays it on this one - I've loved Runrig since first hearing them in 1986.  It's great that they have a new strong singer - and that he's from Nova Scotia in Canada is just icing on the cake :-)

  48. S.... G....

    great song and band. i love scotland. greets from germany

  49. p.... h....

    Going to be interviewing Iain Baynes from Runrig on my radio show on Salford city radio 94.4fm soon. Mondays 11am till 12pm GMT

  50. S.... L....

    Its taken me a while to get used to Bruce and I am very sorry for that. He has a outstanding voice and just my sadness at losing Donnie blinded me to accepting someone new. I am sorry.

  51. D.... L....

    m.... S....

    mary Saunders I'm proud to be Scottish 100%, Scottish lad from Stirling !! 😎

  56. S.... S....

    I'm A Scotsman, And I Still Haven't Seen Runrig Yet, Mum And Dad Have Seen Them A lot, Gonna Get Them To Tale Me One Day !

    S.... S....

    If you really want to see them do it soon, they have some shows coming up next summer in Germany and Denmark but the boys are getting ready to call it quits pretty soon. Bruce is still pretty young but the some of the boys are getting up there, can't blame them for wanting to take it easy and enjoy retirement, they've been at it since 1973.

    S.... S....

    Official Jordan Conway ...I'm Dutch and I saw Runrig once in Perth and 3 times in Oberhausen. ... I love them

    S.... S....

    Official Jordan Conway bout 6 times personally for me. v lucky to have been brought up on their music and bringing my own up with it too.

    S.... S....

    Final two concerts in Stirling Aug 2018 - and it's been very hard to get tickets, Official Jordan Conway.

  57. K.... N....

    Great Voice

  58. H.... �....

  66. S.... D....

    Well no one can compete with Donnie's voice, but Bruce does this lovely song amazing justice! well done!😆👍

  67. A.... L....

    very nice

  68. P.... R....

    Donnie is way way above Bruce in the singing of this song. Note that the song has been altered in timing to accomodate the more limited vocal range available to Bruce. Timing is everything in music. Does not do it for me at all . Not that it matters anymore ! Just sayin.

    P.... R....

    Well dinnae say it Paul.

    P.... R....

    Stupid comment.

    P.... R....

    Very true

    t.... 4....

    You're giving me ideas! 😄

  79. u.... ....

    Only recently discovered this band, living here in U.S. Sad to discover they are closing shop. Some of these tunes I cannot get enough of, and will hypnotically listen to them over and over. Have not found a real clunker in the collection. Truly great ambassadors for the Scots.

    u.... ....

    utubr10 they’re stopping as a band next year with the last concert August 18th. 😞 But there’s still tickets to get for some of the shows before that I think in England, Germany and Denmark. Runrig will Liv on in our hearts, and as each of the band members will still do some kind of playing they’re still worth following.
    This is one of my favorites especially in Bruce’s version.

  80. N.... P....

    Going to see them live in 2 days! Bless

    N.... P....

    +Nikolaj Pedersen I'm going to see them at Edinburgh Castle this year! Cant wait!

  81. T.... ....

    What a voice! one of the best by far but I want the tone of Donnie Munro, no one will ever replace that.

    T.... ....

    It's totally cool to love Donnie as long as you give Bruce credit as well.

  82. T.... P....

    loving this...Chiangmai, Thailand

  83. e.... B....

    OH MY GOD, what a lovely song <3

  84. P.... B....

    the rig is still running strong ,keep it up lads Phil south Africa

    P.... B....

    Gd lad Bairdy!

  85. J.... P....

    den bedste af dem på nettet

  86. J.... P....

    fantastisk sang den følger ens hjerte :)

  87. H.... ....

    I have to get to Scotland.....

    +HAMMET-ROCK   Don't waste another minute thinking about it , just do it !

    H.... ....

    Be careful... You will loose your heart there.

    H.... ....

    I've been there twice when I was in the US Navy. Flew down from Keflavik Iceland on P3s, landed at the RAF Base in Kinloss and then hitchhiked to Inverness to see Loch Ness. An unbelievable country.. my favorite of all. Well, maybe not the food, but the people and the land.. oh yea. My family is from the Stewart line.

    H.... ....

    HAMMET-ROCK wee

  88. P.... T....

    I've just recently discovered these guys. I am so impressed and am an instant fan. I have to admit of thinking about Woodstock, looking at all that rain and mud and the togetherness of that crowd. That was a soul stirring event for those people, I have no doubt.

  89. A.... R....

    Such a good song, reminds me of a time before things went a wee bit wrong in my family, good times :)

  90. p.... s....

    Este absolut fantastic !

  91. M.... L....

    Awesome xx

  92. D.... W....

    Thank you.

  93. S.... G....

    Great :-)

  94. T.... ....

    It makes me sad to see any thumbs down on this song because I suspect the majority of the thumbs down come from fans of the great Donnie Munro. Whether you think Donnie sang it better or not I just don't see how you can think Bruce's version deserves a thumbs down.

    T.... ....

    I like the softness of the voice of Bruce more... Sorry, but true. There's no better Runrig-singer for me than him. Different people, different opinions.

    T.... ....

    Dream on dick head @Peter Long suddenly you come out with crap , shut the f,;k up,if there was a singer to take Donnys place then the band got Bruce Guthro and they were right to have him , the best for sure .

    T.... ....

    @Peter Long Bullshit total bullshit .

    T.... ....

    Donnie was great, but this song transcends whatever artist is singing this truly great song by a truly iconic band from the Isle of Skye.

    T.... ....

    @wynyardjohn Agreed. I have listened to and loved this song by about 10 singers now. I loved the version by Skerryvore particularly. However, I still love it best by Runrig with Donnie and Bruce 1a and 1b or vice versa.
