| I saw the river today and it made me feel okay
|
| But I never ever had a lot to say
|
| Reading a book take a look at a boat go by
|
| Oh, oh, oh, oh I sigh —
|
| I’ve been throwing a coin into the river
|
| Make a wish as I watch the water quiver
|
| Now and then i go walking by the river of time
|
| Leaving all my thoughts behind
|
| I saw the river today and it made me feel free
|
| Oh tell me what is happening to me
|
| I catch my reflection and suddenly see
|
| The woman the girl couldn’t be
|
| So I’m throwing my youth into the river
|
| Make a wish as I watch the water quiver
|
| Now and then i go walking by the river of time
|
| Leaving all my thoughts behind
|
| (Chorus Chant:)
|
| Winter comes and goes, and the wind it blows
|
| Still the water flows, and everybody knows
|
| Come the summertime all the churches chime
|
| For thye river of time
|
| I saw the river today and I started to cry
|
| Cause the promise it made was a lie
|
| Stumbling brook you’re a crook, take a look and see
|
| See what you’ve done to me
|
| So I’m throwing my heart into the river
|
| Forget the wish that you never could deliver
|
| Now and then I go walking by the river of time
|
| Leaving all my thoughts behind
|
| Winter comes and goes, and the wind it blows
|
| Still the water flows, and everybody knows
|
| Come the summertime all the churches chime
|
| For thye river of time
|
| So I’ll keep throwing a coin into the river
|
| Forget the wish that you never could deliver
|
| Now and then I go walking by the river of time
|
| Leaving all my thoughts behind
|
| See as your life changes as you’re pulled along by time… |
