Standing by the River

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!
