River

歌詞

They floated downstream with swans in the sun Surrounded by friends and lovers We watched on with smiles beaming so bright The river behind them, the fading daylight I knew her back from when she was young Those days poured out faster than rounds from a gun Scattered like shells and lost to the sea Like the river, the days move rapidly I have all these memories, I don't know what for I have them and I can't help it Some overflow and spill out like waves Some I will harbor for all of my days I burned like oil, you grew like a flower Rising toward your magical hour I was not yours and you were not mine Our true love finds us when it is time We drove back downtown, wasted and spent Down highways that I remember Happy for her and happy for me The old times and the new to uncover I laid down my head, in love with the night With my new love beside me, her radiant light I faded away along with my thoughts Like a dream and I trail off mystically
