River

River

there are no stars in the city

Here there is no telephone in the trees

Beautiful days fall on the waters

And all I can do is write you a letter



River

It's cold here in the morning

Later, I can see it in your eyes

Wild and white we follow the canyon

quiet at night we stare at the skies



Leaving you now will never change me

Runnin' away will just change the view

All I can see is the highway



River

You'll carry me through the fire

Maybe you'll drown me in your arms

But if I die like that it won't be like dyin'

When I rise again the ashes are gone



Leaving you now will never change me

Runnin' away will just change the view

All I can see is the highway

All I can see is you
