DEAR RIVER LYRICS

Holding on, dear river, to my skin
Whispering the places you have been
And I look back upstream

Everybody knows the river comes the river goes
But you stopped here
You stopped here for me

You took my heart in tow
How could I let you go

I doubt anyone can keep up with you
I doubt anyone can keep up with you

Rolling on, dear river, does it end
I saw you through the canyon and the bend
Did you look back for me

I could fight the flow and tug of war the undertow
But I'd never, not ever, succeed

So when you're out to sea
I hope you think of me

I doubt anyone can keep up with you
I doubt anyone can keep up with you

Just keep on, river, gone is my friend
Just keep on, river, gone is my
