This River
Velvet Sea Lyrics

We have lyrics for 'This River' by these artists:

Bolton Michael Oh this river, oh this river runs Can't take my heart…
JJ Grey & Mofro Stare at a picture But there's nothing for it I pull on…
Michael Bolton Oh, this river, oh this river runs Can't take my heart…
Pooka Кино идет – Воюет взвод. Далёкий год На плёнке старой. Нелёг…

Sonny Landreth Right here at the mouth of this river Where we stand…
Steve Von Till This river flows to the South Like these thoughts flow from…
Sungaze I get away, trying to ignite Some semblance, of my former…

LYRICS:

I've been wading in the velvet sea
I've been wading in the velvet sea
I've been wading in the
I've been wading in the
I've been wading in the velvet sea
I've been wading in the velvet sea
I've been wading in the velvet sea
I've been wading in the
I've been wading in the
I've been wading in the velvet sea
I've been wading in the velvet sea
I've been wading in the velvet sea
I've been wading in the
I've been wading in the
I've been wading in the velvet sea
I've been wading in the velvet sea
I've been wading in the velvet sea
I've been wading in the
I've been wading in the
I took a moment from my day
And wrapped it up in things you say
And mailed it off to your address
You'll get it pretty soon unless
The packaging begins to break
And all the points I tried to make
Are tossed with thoughts into a bin
And time leaks out my life leaks in
You won't find moments in a box
And someone else will set your clocks
I took a moment from my day
And wrapped it up in things you say
And mailed it off to you
You won't find moments in a box
And someone else will set your clocks
I took a moment from my day
I've been wading in the velvet sea
I've been wading in the velvet sea
I've been wading in the velvet sea
I've been wading in the
I've been wading in the
I've been wading in the velvet sea
I've been wading in the velvet sea
I've been wading in the velvet sea
I've been wading in the
I've been wading in the
I've been wading in the velvet sea
I've been wading in the velvet sea
I've been wading in the velvet sea
I've been wading in the
I've been wading in the
I've been wading in the velvet sea
I've been wading in the velvet sea
I've been wading in the velvet sea
I've been wading in the
I've been wading in the
I've been wading in the velvet sea
I've been wading in the velvet sea
I've been wading in the velvet sea
I've been wading in the
I've been wading in the
I've been wading in the velvet sea
I've been wading in the velvet sea
I've been wading in the velvet sea
I've been wading in the
I've been wading in the

I’ve been looking for this song for years but couldn’t remember the name of it. All the memories just flood back. I feel so calm and so much gratitude. Souls soothing. Not even sure why. Perhaps a subconscious nostalgia. Anyway….❤

@onemoement

My name is REALLY MOMENT!!! I Sang this song at my high school talent show (wearing all blue velvet - haha it was 2001) and two incredibly talented friends (offered to play) piano and bass and accompanied the vocals so beautifully...I don’t listen to this song often, because honestly, I can’t...every time I do I’m too overcome with emotion. But, What an amazing piece of music and so close to my heart in so many ways. “You won’t find (this) Moment(s) in a box...” ;)
