River, What Have You Seen?
River, what have you seen?
Oh you've flowed by so steadily
Reflecting our home on your bank
For a long quiet time
So you know now she's gone
And I seek every day
For a clue in the depths of my mind
Was there something I missed?
Did you spy hidden tears?
Were there letters she read and concealed?
Did I speak without grace?
Were her glances ignored?
Can you tell me what I failed to see?
River, what have you seen?
River, what have you seen?
Did you whisper of hope to tempt her to leave?
Did you promise to show her the world?
Did she gaze far downstream
Imagining all of the places she dreamt as a girl?
Did she dip in her toe
To feel the excitement of risking it all to be free?
Did you bear her away?
If I beg you enough, could you carry her back home to me?
River, what have you seen?
River, what have you seen?
Now when I search my heart
I can see how she never belonged here in this lonely place
I forgive what she did
Cause to keep her with me
Would deprive her of finding her fate
Can you tell me she's safe?
Is she happy at last?
Did she finally find all she needs?
Will you carry word back
I still love her today but I finally know why she'd leave
River
River
Oh you've flowed by so steadily
Reflecting our home on your bank
For a long quiet time
So you know now she's gone
And I seek every day
For a clue in the depths of my mind
Was there something I missed?
Did you spy hidden tears?
Were there letters she read and concealed?
Did I speak without grace?
Were her glances ignored?
Can you tell me what I failed to see?
River, what have you seen?
River, what have you seen?
Did you whisper of hope to tempt her to leave?
Did you promise to show her the world?
Did she gaze far downstream
Imagining all of the places she dreamt as a girl?
Did she dip in her toe
To feel the excitement of risking it all to be free?
Did you bear her away?
If I beg you enough, could you carry her back home to me?
River, what have you seen?
River, what have you seen?
Now when I search my heart
I can see how she never belonged here in this lonely place
I forgive what she did
Cause to keep her with me
Would deprive her of finding her fate
Can you tell me she's safe?
Is she happy at last?
Did she finally find all she needs?
Will you carry word back
I still love her today but I finally know why she'd leave
River
River
