STANDING BY THE RIVER
The water flows out towards the sea
Time flows forward
And nothing can bring it back to me
STANDING BY THE RIVER
The forces of nature decree
Each drop flows by
Never to return
But life circles round
Past, future and current coexist
Love flows eternally
The river is now
For eternity
Light on the horizon
A memory unites you and me
Love we have shared
Can never dissolve or wash away
STANDING BY THE RIVER
A sudden, bright epiphany
All my lost love
Returns to me–
STANDING BY THE RIVER
And time works its weird alchemy
All that I’ve loved and lost
Returns to me–
All my lost love returns
Returns to me!
