I saw the river today and it made me feel okay,
|
But I never ever had a lot to say,
|
Reading a book take a look at a boat go by,
|
oh, oh, oh, oh I sigh -
|
|
I've been throwing a coin into the river
|
Make a wish as I watch the water quiver,
|
Now and then i go walking by the river of time,
|
Leaving all my thoughts behind
|
|
I saw the river today and it made me feel free,
|
Oh tell me what is happening to me,
|
I catch my reflection and suddenly see,
|
The woman the girl couldn't be
|
|
So I'm throwing my youth into the river,
|
Make a wish as I watch the water quiver,
|
Now and then i go walking by the river of time,
|
Leaving all my thoughts behind
|
|
[Chorus Chant:]
|
Winter comes and goes, and the wind it blows,
|
Still the water flows, and everybody knows,
|
Come the summertime all the churches chime
|
For thye river of time
|
|
I saw the river today and I started to cry,
|
Cause the promise it made was a lie,
|
Stumbling brook you're a crook, take a look and see
|
See what you've done to me
|
|
So I'm throwing my heart into the river,
|
Forget the wish that you never could deliver,
|
Now and then I go walking by the river of time,
|
Leaving all my thoughts behind
|
|
Winter comes and goes, and the wind it blows,
|
Still the water flows, and everybody knows,
|
Come the summertime all the churches chime
|
For thye river of time
|
|
So I'll keep throwing a coin into the river,
|
Forget the wish that you never could deliver,
|
Now and then I go walking by the river of time,
|
Leaving all my thoughts behind
|
|
See as your life changes as you're pulled along by time...
