Run to the River
Corizonas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There were gentle, nice and charming
They embrace me like a family
I was happy for the first time
Until one day, things got out of hand
I couldn't face the light of a new day
I couldn't get my shit together again
I just couldn't crawl out of my bed
I gotta run to the river and wash my sins
Run to the river and pray
I gotta run to the river and wash my sins away
I'll do it today, and feel like I've been born again

"Always is always forever as long as one is one.
Inside yourself for your father, All is none, all is none all is one"

I couldn't face the light of a new day
I couldn't get my shit together again
I just couldn't crawl out of my bed

I gotta run to the river and wash my sins
Run to the river and pray
I gotta run to the river and wash my sins away
I'll do it today, and feel like I've been born again

I gotta run to the river and wash my sins
Run to the river and pray
I gotta run to the river and wash my sins away
I gotta run to the river and wash my sins
Run to the river and pray
I gotta run to the river and wash my sins away
I gotta run to the river and wash my sins
I gotta run to the river and wash my sins
I gotta run to the river and wash my sins




I gotta run to the river and wash my sins away
I'll do it today, and feel like I've been born again

Los vi hará más de 20 años en Navalmoral (Cáceres) siendo un chaval y flipe. Y aún sigo haciéndolo con temas como este que son un auténtico chute de adrenalina al cor❤. No entiendo como abandonaron esta senda donde simplemente eran los mejores.

Son increíbles! Los he visto en concierto en el FIV de Galicia! Una de las mejores actuaciones de ese festival! Y esta canción es, para mi gusto, la mejor de todas! Buenísima! :D

Super estribillo. Dificil hacerlo todo bien pero ellos lo consiguen. Temazo y un video a su altura

Edu OP

Grandes Arizona Baby y grandes Los Coronas! Grandes Corizonas!!!

Manuel Ruiz Campaña

Estupendas observaciones. En su tema Hotel Room del mismo disco también hay un soniquete de trompeta clavado a cierta parte de "A day In the life". Este disco tiene muchas referencias: Beatles, Mamas&The Papas, sonido TexMex...Un gran trabajo este "The News Today".

canté esto como nunca, muy buenos en directo
