[English]

Run, run, run...

Run, run, river, carry me home to the ocean

The river and the road, take me home to the ocean

The friends in my life like stars in the sky, leave the lights on

I'm tryin' to get back home, the river keeps on flowing to the ocean

The angels above me, they sing that they love me, oh Lord

I'm traveling alone, so far from home and love

Oh no, angels, angels, please don't leave

I'm tryin' to get to her with the love she deserves, Lord, please

I've been playing my guitar, laying underneath the stars for you

In the light of the moon, I'll be forever singing tunes for you

When the stars are aligned like the colors in your eyes, greens and blues

It's not when or whether, we'll always be together, it's true

And the angels above me, they sing that they love me, oh Lord

I'm traveling alone, so far from home and love

Oh no, angels, angels, please don't leave

I'm tryin' to get to her with the love she deserves, Lord, please

And sometimes, I feel like my heart's gonna burst at the seams

And sometimes, I think it's just love that we want or we need

And sometimes, I feel like I'm living too much in my dreams

And sometimes, oh Lord, let me be, let me be, oh

Are you feeling like I'm feeling? Searching for the meaning of it all

I spend all my days tryin' to make some sense of it all

The ocean and the seas and the windblown trees are changing

And your love for me is all I need to keep believing

And the angels above me, they sing that they love me, oh Lord

I'm traveling alone, so far from home and love

Oh no, angels, angels, please don't leave

I'm tryin' to get to her with the love she deserves, Lord, please

Oh, please

Don't leave me

Don't leave me
