Until My Heart Grows Quiet

There's a river that runs from the border of Canada
Down the east of Vermont, the west of New Hampshire
Right through the center of a state that gave me a home
And that river, it runs through the city of Hartford
And if you followed it south, you'd find the place I was born
Right at its mouth, where it rips into the Sound

And I've followed that river every mile
From the north as a woman, the south as a child
It taught me to carve my path through the wild
And with it, I'll run - run - run
Until my heart grows quiet

There's a highway that runs from New York to Boston
And, in a week, this old car has driven it twice
Through sun, sleet and ice, I've been on it all my life

And I've followed that highway every mile
Counting the exits since I was a child
It taught me to carve my path through the wild
And with it, I'll run - run - run
Until my heart grows quiet

(Will it ever grow quiet?)

Oh, I've followed that river every mile
Been running from something since I was a child
But it brought me to you, so I'll stay here a while
And with you I'll run - run - run
With you, I'll run - run - run
With you, I will run - run - run
Until my heart grows quiet
