Gentle Giant
Gentle Giant - River lyrics
Your rating:
Moving silent water fell the first that comes. Slow and winding, flowing free Peaceful music in its sound of distant drums. Trust the shallow virgin stream Danger wild, beware the deeper it becomes. Moving highway, twisting byway Can't turn back. Sining in the summer rain Rain that's caught in its flow. Spreading, shining, silver lining Gold on black. Echoes moods of the moon and sun Sun that shines from below. Makes a soft and easy way Left to choose its path will always be a friend. Touch the last of what has past. Never idle river drifting to the end. Note: We have tried to create several atmospheres within the boundaries of one songs by using the various electronic devices at our disposal in the recording studio. --------------------------------------------------- Kerry Minnear: All keyboards, vibraphone, percussion, cello, Moog, lead and backing vocals Raymond Shulman: Bass violin, guitar, percussion, vocals Gary Green: Guitars, percussion Derek Shulman: Lead vocals, alto saxophone Philip Shulman: Saxophones, trumpet, mellophone, lead and backing vocals John Weathers: Drums, percussion, xylophone.
