Don't Try to Catch a River Don't Try to Catch a River -Aphrodite's Child When she flows Don't try to catch a river No one will ever catch her When love goes Don't try to catch your lover For love is a kind of river River flows over rocks and walls And I'd like to know why She seems to be far away from the sky When she flows Don't try to catch a river No one will ever catch her When love goes Don't try to catch your lover For love is a kind of river Lovers leave their girls at sunrise And I'd like to know why They seem to be so ashamed of the size Don't you try Don't you try Don't you try Don't you try River River River When she flows Don't try to catch a river No one will ever catch her When love goes Don't try to catch your lover For love is a kind of river River carries along dead leaves And I'd like to know why Why don't lovers bring along wounded hearts River River River River River
