| What I love most about rivers is
|
| You can’t step in the same river twice
|
| The water’s always changing, always flowing
|
| But people, I guess, can’t live like that
|
| We all must pay a price
|
| To be safe, we lose our chance of ever knowing
|
| What’s around the riverbend
|
| Waiting just around the riverbend
|
| I look once more
|
| Just around the riverbend
|
| Beyond the shore
|
| Where the gulls fly free
|
| I don’t know what for
|
| What I dream the day might send
|
| Jut around the riverbend
|
| For me (for me), for me (for me)
|
| Coming for me (for me), for me (for me)
|
| I feel it there beyond those trees
|
| Or right behind these waterfalls
|
| Can I ignore that sound of distant drumming?
|
| For a handsome, sturdy husband
|
| Who builds handsome, sturdy walls
|
| And never dreams that something might be coming?
|
| Just around the riverbend
|
| Waiting just around the riverbend
|
| I look once more
|
| (I look once more)
|
| Just around the riverbend
|
| Beyond the shore
|
| (Beyond the shore)
|
| Somewhere past the sea
|
| I don’t know what for
|
| (I do know what for, what do I do just beyond the shore?)
|
| Why do all my dreams extend
|
| Just around the riverbend?
|
| Should I choose the smoothest course
|
| Steady as a beating drum?
|
| Should I, should I, should I marry on?
|
| (So, am I dreaming at an end?)
|
| Oh, do you still wait for me, Dream Giver?
|
| Do you still wait for me, Dream Giver?
|
| Do you still wait for me, Dream Giver?
|
| (Just around the riverbend)
|
| Oh, do you still wait for me, Dream Giver?
|
| Do you still wait for me, Dream Giver?
|
| Do you still wait for me, Dream Giver?
|
| (Just around the riverbend)
|
| I look once more
|
| (I look once more)
|
| Just around the riverbend
|
| Beyond the shore
|
| (Beyond the shore)
|
| Somewhere past the sea
|
| I don’t know what for
|
| (I don’t know what for, what do I do just beyond the shore?)
|
| Why do all my dreams extend
|
| Just around the riverbend?
|
| For me (for me), for me (for me)
|
| Coming for me (for me), for me (for me)
|
| Ooo-oo-ooo
|
| Ooo-ooo |
