Life as a river where the water flows continuously and is never the same.
Lyrics
I chose a lonesome road
And to myself I told
That I would not look back again
With no one left to hold
And in my fallen state
I let my dreams just fade
Like the weather passing by
I held back all my joy
And could not free the boy
Who lived inside this prison cell
And I could not avoid
To bury him with soil
From the bottom of my soul
And my love just passed me by
Oh how the river flows away again
Never to return from whence it came
Oh as I watch the water disappear
How I wish to meet it once again
I held on to my crimes
And carried them through time
And now I try to free myself
With every verse and rhyme
And though I seem to fail
There's a glimmer of a hope
But it seems to pass me by
And now I'll try to find
Some peace to ease my mind
And dream of wonderous gatherings
Where all the folk are kind
And join them in their game
But fail to learn the names
Of the people passing by
Oh how the river flows away again
Never to return from whence it came
Oh as I watch the water disappear
How I wish to meet it once again
And now upon this road
I've heard some stories told
I've heard the night sky speak to me
I've watched her stars unfold
And carry me 'til morn
When the sun begins to rise
And the day goes passing by
Oh how the river flows away again
Never to return from whence it came
Oh as I watch the water disappear
How I wish to meet it once again
