Blue mountain river, if only for a while
Take me to the river, I lay down by your side
The world is full of madness and I find it hard to smile
I'll sleep within through winter and wait for summertime

Blue mountain river, comfort me a while
I'll follow down the river, I'll follow you 'til night
I listen to you whispers, you dance in time to mine
We'll stay awake together watching silver in the sky

Blue mountain river, I wanna rest a while
You're changing my reflection and the seasons in my mind
Let these days go on forever, I'll leave in my own time
Take me where you're going and I'll be right by your side

Blue mountain river, I went there for a while
I listened for an answer and I found it deep inside
When I'm lost behind the shadows and I wanna run and hide
Blue mountain river is there right by my side
