Just Around the Riverbend
What I love most of the river is
You can't step in the same river twice
The water's always changing, always flowing
But people, I guess, can't live like that
We all must pay a price
To be safe, we lose our chance of ever knowing
What's around the riverbend
Waiting just around the riverbend
I look once more, just around the riverbend
Beyond the shore, where the gulls fly free
Don't know what for
What I dream the day might send
Just around the riverbend for me
Coming for me
I feel it there beyond those trees
And right behind these waterfalls
Can I ignore that sound of distant drumming
For a handsome, sturdy husband
Who builds handsome sturdy walls
And never dream that something might be coming
Just around the riverbend?
Just around the riverbend
I look once more, just around the riverbend
Beyond the shore, somewhere past the sea
Don't know what for
Why do all my dreams extend
Just around the riverbend?
Just around the riverbend
Should I choose the smoothest course
Steady as the beating drum?
Should I marry Kocoum?
Is all my dreaming at an end
Or do you still wait for me, Dream Giver
Just around the riverbend?
You can't step in the same river twice
The water's always changing, always flowing
But people, I guess, can't live like that
We all must pay a price
To be safe, we lose our chance of ever knowing
What's around the riverbend
Waiting just around the riverbend
I look once more, just around the riverbend
Beyond the shore, where the gulls fly free
Don't know what for
What I dream the day might send
Just around the riverbend for me
Coming for me
I feel it there beyond those trees
And right behind these waterfalls
Can I ignore that sound of distant drumming
For a handsome, sturdy husband
Who builds handsome sturdy walls
And never dream that something might be coming
Just around the riverbend?
Just around the riverbend
I look once more, just around the riverbend
Beyond the shore, somewhere past the sea
Don't know what for
Why do all my dreams extend
Just around the riverbend?
Just around the riverbend
Should I choose the smoothest course
Steady as the beating drum?
Should I marry Kocoum?
Is all my dreaming at an end
Or do you still wait for me, Dream Giver
Just around the riverbend?
