Song language: English
Like the River |
| They floated downstream with swans in the sun |
| Surrounded by friends and lovers |
| We watched on with smiles beaming so bright |
| The river behind them, the fading daylight |
| I knew her back from when she was young |
| Those days poured out faster than rounds from a gun |
| Scattered like shells and lost to the sea |
| Like the river, the days move rapidly |
| I have all these memories, I don’t know what for |
| I have them and I can’t help it |
| Some overflow and spill out like waves |
| Some I will harbor for all of my days |
| I burned like oil, you grew like a flower |
| Rising toward your magical hour |
| I was not yours and you were not mine |
| Our true love finds us when it is time |
| We drove back downtown, wasted and spent |
| Down highways that I remember |
| Happy for her and happy for me |
| The old times and the new to uncover |
| I laid down my head, in love with the night |
| With my new love beside me, her radiant light |
| I faded away along with my thoughts |
| Like a dream and I trail off mystically |
