River Songtext
von Bill Staines

River Songtext

I was born in the path of the winter wind
And raised where the mountains are old
Their springtime waters came dancing down
And I remember the tales they told

The whistling ways of my younger days
Too quickly have faded on by
But all of their memories linger on
Like the light in a fading sky

River, take me along
In your sunshine, sing me your song
Ever moving and winding and free
You rolling old river
You changing old river
Let′s you and me, river
Run down to the sea

I've been to the city and back again
I′ve been moved by some things that I've learned
Met a lot of good people and I've called them friends
Felt the change when the seasons turned


I′ve heard all the songs that the children sing
And listened to love′s melodies
I've felt my own music within me rise
Like the wind in the autumn trees

River, take me along
In your sunshine, sing me your song
Ever moving and winding and free
You rolling old river
You changing old river
Let′s you and me, river
Run down to the sea

Someday when the flowers are blooming still
Someday when the grass is still green
My rolling waters will round the bend
And flow into the open sea

So here's to the rainbow that′s followed me here
And here's to the friends that I know
And here′s to the song that's within me now
I will sing it where'er I go


River, take me along
In your sunshine, sing me your song
Ever moving and winding and free
You rolling old river
You changing old river
Let′s you and me, river
Run down to the sea

River, take me along
In your sunshine, sing me your song
Ever moving and winding and free
You rolling old river
You changing old river
Let′s you and me, river
Run down to the sea
