By the River
From the icy bridge I hear the river,
Flowing out beyond the open bay.
Deep beneath the waves of voices calling,
Come down to me,
It seems to say.
I will understand your frozen journey,
In the bends and elbows of my flow.
Come to me and be my close companion,
We'll be as one,
In what we know.
What we know.
People will be born,
People will die.
As before you were born,
And long after you.
Young ones will find love,
Hand will find hand.
We will flow,
With no end.
On and on,
On and on.
River calling,
Come join my journey.
I will ease your burden,
I will be your rest.
River calling,
Come be my lover.
I will bring you freedom,
Flow along with me.
To the sea.
She sings to me,
She sings to me.
See the snowflakes melting on my surface,
As I softly lap against the shore.
Take a step and come to me my darling,
Here in my arms,
You'll cry no more.
Cry no more.
People will be born,
People will die.
As before you were born,
And long after you.
Young ones will find love,
Hand will find hand.
We will flow,
With no end.
On and on,
On and on.
River calling,
Come join my journey.
I will ease your burden,
I will be your rest.
River calling,
Come be my lover.
I will bring you freedom,
Flow along with me.
To the sea.
Flowing out beyond the open bay.
Deep beneath the waves of voices calling,
Come down to me,
It seems to say.
I will understand your frozen journey,
In the bends and elbows of my flow.
Come to me and be my close companion,
We'll be as one,
In what we know.
What we know.
People will be born,
People will die.
As before you were born,
And long after you.
Young ones will find love,
Hand will find hand.
We will flow,
With no end.
On and on,
On and on.
River calling,
Come join my journey.
I will ease your burden,
I will be your rest.
River calling,
Come be my lover.
I will bring you freedom,
Flow along with me.
To the sea.
She sings to me,
She sings to me.
See the snowflakes melting on my surface,
As I softly lap against the shore.
Take a step and come to me my darling,
Here in my arms,
You'll cry no more.
Cry no more.
People will be born,
People will die.
As before you were born,
And long after you.
Young ones will find love,
Hand will find hand.
We will flow,
With no end.
On and on,
On and on.
River calling,
Come join my journey.
I will ease your burden,
I will be your rest.
River calling,
Come be my lover.
I will bring you freedom,
Flow along with me.
To the sea.
