The River Lyrics


The roads are closed
Do you know where you should be?
When the lights are dim
Are you gonna come cryin' to me?
'Cause you're sitting there with your legs crossed
Lookin' so carefree
Do you think you can run away
From your so-called misery?
'Cause you know, the tide ain't rollin' in for you
The tide ain't rollin' in for me
Are you gonna sink, are you gonna swim?
Because I'll take you down to the river
Yes, I'll take you down to the river
In the end, I'll take you down to the river
But you're goin' in, you're goin' in
Now the choice is yours
Are you in or are you gonna back out?
Well this is your life baby

Are you gonna take a look around?
'Cause you seem to think that all
Your chances will chase you down
I'm telling you to open up your eyes
And take those feet off the ground
'Cause you know the tide ain't rollin' in for you
The tide ain't rollin' in for me
Are you gonna sink, are you gonna swim?
Because I'll take you down to the river
Yes, I'll take you down to the river
Don't you know, I'll take you down to the river
But you're goin' in, you're goin' in
Now the roads are closed
Do you know where you should be?
Now the lights are dim
Are you gonna come cryin' to me?
'Cause you know the tide ain't rollin' in for you
The tide ain't rollin' in for me
Are you gonna sink, are you gonna swim?
Because I'll take you down to the river
Yes, I'll take you down to the river
In the end, I'll take you down to the river
'Cause you're goin' in, you're goin' in

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
“The whole project oozes spirituality, if not outright womanly sensuality…” - BILLBOARD
“Lightman’s dusky vocals and earthy, groovy vibe invite comparisons to Joan Osborne and Sheryl Crow”
- USA TODAY
“no small talent… Toby Lightman continues to shine a light on her knack for making rich, soulful pop”
- PEOPLE

From releasing her first two records, Little Things (2004) and Bird on a Wire (2006) on Atlantic Records, to releasing two independent records, Let Go (2008) and Know Where I'm From (2010), which featured a limited edition, sold out fan participation book, on her own T Killa Records, Toby Lightman has been very busy.

Toby has performed on various National TV shows such as Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, NBC's Today Show, and CBS' Second Cup. She has toured with renowned artists such as Rob Thomas, Jewel, James Blunt, Gavin DeGraw, Train, Marc Cohn, Lilith Fair 2010 and on one memorable evening, Prince.

Since becoming an independent artist, it has seemed as though her career has really blossomed through much success with film and TV placements including "Everyday" on Fox's Bones, "Holding a Heart" from her side project Girl Named Toby on WB's One Tree Hill, Vampire Diaries as well as the feature film What's Your Number?, "Let Go" as the HSN commercial theme song, "Snow Day" as the KMart commercial theme song, "Addicted" which aired recently in the ongoing commercial for ABC's Desperate Housewives and too many other features to mention in this tiny blip. Excited about what lies ahead, Toby is now busier than ever working on her newest record, which is due for release later this year … to be continued!
