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 ...
