Frances Black - The River lyrics

Your rating:

I was born on the path of the winter winds
Raised where the mountains are old
The springtime waters came dancing down
And I remember the tales they told

The whistling ways of my younger days
Too quickly have faded on by
And all of their memories linger on
Like a light in a faded sky

River, take me along in your sunshine
Sing me a song, every movement winding and free
You rolling ol' river, you changing ol' river
Let's you and me, river, run down to the sea

Well, I've been to the city and I've been back again
I've been moved by some things that I've learned
I met a lot of good people and I call them friends
Felt the change when the seasons turned

I heard all the songs that the children sing
And I've listened to love's melodies
I felt my own music within me rise
Like the wind in the Autumn trees

River, take me along in your sunshine
Sing me a song, every movement winding and free
You rolling ol' river, you changing ol' river
Let's you and me, river, run down to the sea

Some day when the flowers are blooming still
Some day when the grass is still green
The rolling waters will round the bend
And flow into the open sea

So here's to the rainbow that's followed me here
And here's to the friends that I know
And here's to the song that's within me now
I will sing where'er I go

River, take me along in your sunshine
Sing me a song, every movement winding and free
You rolling ol' river, you changing ol' river
Let's you and me, river, run down to the sea
