Fix my hair, close the latch on the gate I fly across this town 'cause I don’t want to be late And pull up to your house and your dad is staring holes through me We see a movie, spent all that I had You say romantic comedies these days make you sad Just empty and lonely, wishing for a world like that I could never let you go You are the current, the river and the undertow I could never let you go You are the current, the river and the undertow A white dress and the cutting of cake A little house on seventh as the snow starts to flake Pretty soon that house is full of diapers and crying things Our daughter has a game so we load up the van The joy upon her face it keeps us warm in the stands And the boy is touring colleges life just moves as fast as it can I could never let you go You are the current, the river and the undertow Darling I could never let you go You are the current, the river and the undertow They gather 'round as I’m slipping away My hair that was so blonde has now all faded to grey I’m so proud of the man and the woman you’ve come to be My love is wearing blue like she was when we met She grabs on to my hand and holds it tight to her chest And the sound of her heartbeat leads me toward whatever’s next I will never let you go You are the current, the river and the undertow I will never let you go You are the current, the river and the undertow Darling I will never let you go You are the current, the river and the undertow I will never let you go You are the current, the river and the undertow
