[Verse 1]
I was so close to the edge, I was falling down
You come and turn it around
And let me see again
Let me see you again
Caught in the eye of the storm, I was sure I'd drown
But you made me reach deep down
Assured of the strength I'd found
The strength I'd found, yeah

[Chorus]
Mighty rivers run right through me
I find them if I dive in too deep
In the shadows swim with daydreams
As far away as they can take me, oh

[Verse 2]
There was a time I would go with the rolling tide
I wanted an easy ride
I thought it was all a game
The thunder struck and it changed
Then I was scared, I was scared, I was terrified
But you made me reach inside
As certain that I'd survive, I'd survive
But all night I'm lying awake
It feels like my body's afraid to say
Too much to put into words
A dam about to burst

[Chorus]
Mighty rivers run right through me
I find them if I dive in too deep
In the shadows swim with daydreams
As far away as they can take me, oh

[Bridge]
Only you understand me
For the truth not the fantasy
I'm as true as I can be
Hear me now

[Chorus]
Mighty rivers run right through me
I find them if I dive in too deep
In the shadows swim with daydreams
As far away as they can take me, oh
As far away as they can take me, oh
Mighty rivers run right through me
I find them if I dive in too deep
In the shadows swim with daydreams
As far away as they can take me, oh

Kylie Minogue is an Australian singer, songwriter, and actress. Often referred to as the Goddess of Pop with a career spanning over 30 years, she has transformed from girl-next-door soap star to ‘90s pop starlet, and short-lived indie darling to bona fide superstar.

Kylie earned her first big break on the Australian soap opera Neighbours, playing tomboy mechanic Charlene Mitchell. An on-screen romance with Jason Donovan – who played Scott Robinson – blossomed into a real-life relationship, and their wedding on the soap drew in millions of viewers. However, her real ambition was a successful career in music, and by 1988 her debut album, Kylie, was released, reaching #1 in the UK and Australia. Notching up 10 UK Top 3 singles by 1993, she was one of the defining popstars of the early ‘90s. Her follow-ups to the debut album – Enjoy Yourself, Rhythm of Love and Let’s Get To It – all reached the Top 15 in the UK.

With a blossoming relationship with late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence, Kylie was encouraged to be more ambitious with her image and sound. As such, she left her former label, PWL, and released the daring “Confide In Me” in early 1994. Critics praised her re-invention, and the single restored the success she had somewhat lost with her previous album. Impossible Princess was another critical success but failed to make much of an impact on the charts, which led some media outlets to believe that her “15 minutes of fame” were over.
