Heard it through the trees
Carried by the breeze
I gave chase, I stepped off of the road
I'm in its thrall, and I heed the call
Got there before long
With the breaking dawn
Oh, how it looked dancing in the light
Oh, what a sight to break through the night
River song
Louder than the day is long
And it just keeps traveling on
River song
River song
I heard it like a ringing gong
It'll be here after we're long gone
River song
WHUP!
In a joyful fog
Stepped out on a log
I fell in, got soaked up to the thigh
Oh, what a sight; surprise and delight
Went back to my room
Tried to dry my shoe
But I still heard it calling out to me
Knew in my heart: gotta finish what I start
As I heard that water pour
Rolling wish a rushing roar
Opened in my mind a door
Who could as for more?
Rushes deep
Even as I go to sleep
I know this promise I will keep
And what I've sewn, I'll reap
WHUP!
I visited again
The weather not my friend
"It's far too cold today," I told myself
I was afraid, so I delayed
But still within my heart
Every time we'd part
That longing to be free; submerge myself
River by day, was my cares away
River song
I listened to it all day long
Knowing that soon I'd be gone
From that river's song
On my last day
Down the road I made my way
To those banks without delay
And the river's song
For strength I prayed
As into its flow I gazed
Watched my excuses float away
Down around the bend
Those waterfalls
Sounded like a siren's call
I couldn't resist anymore
I jumped in
