Intro. (Piano and Bass)

Waking
|
Stream of consciousness
|
On a sleeping
|
Street of dreams
|
|
Thoughts
|
Like scattered leaves
|
Slowed in midfall
|
Into the streams
|
|
Of fast running rivers
|
Of choice and chance
|
And time stops here on the delta
|
While they dance, while they dance
|
|
Instrumental (Pedal Steel Guitar)
|
I love the child
|
Who steers this riverboat
|
Lately he's crazy
|
For the deep
|
|
And the river seems dreamlike
|
In the daytime
|
And someone keeps thinking
|
In my sleep
|
|
About fast running rivers
|
Of choice and chance
|
And time stops here on the delta
|
While they dance, while they dance
|
While they dance Aaahh ...
|
|
While they dance da, da, da ...
|
While they dance da, da, da ...
|
While they dance da, da, da ...
|
While they dance, dance river dance
|
While they dance da, da, da ...
|
|
Instrumental Ending (Bass, Keyboards and Pedal Steel Guitar) da, da, da ...
