She follows the path of least resistance
|
She doesn't care to see the mountain top
|
She twists and turns with no regard to distance
|
She never comes to a stop
|
|
And she rolls, she's a river
|
Where she goes, time will tell
|
Heaven knows, he can't go with her
|
And she rolls, all by herself
|
All by herself
|
|
He's headed for a single destination
|
He doesn't care what's standing in his path
|
He's a line between two points of separation
|
He ends just where it says to on the map
|
|
And he rolls, he's a highway
|
Where he goes, time will tell
|
Heaven knows, she can't go with him
|
And he rolls, all by himself
|
All by himself
|
|
And every now and then, he offers her a shoulder
|
And every now and then, she overflows
|
And every now and then, a bridge crosses over
|
It's a moment that every lover knows
|
|
And she rolls (and he rolls)
|
She's a river (he's a highway)
|
Where she goes (where he goes)
|
Time will tell (Time will tell)
|
Heaven knows she can't go with him (he can't go with her)
|
And she rolls all by herself
|
And he rolls all by himself
|
Fare thee well
|
