The river flows
Black and deep
She knows
Nothing’s ours to keep
This life we lead
A burning mark
A rustle in the trees
Just a spark
The river she knows
How things grow
How to run deep
For the river she keeps
Buried in time
The river she’s mine
Follow her stream
Live the river’s dream
She keeps our tales
Guards our sleep
Runs forever
When we take leave
Darkness falls
Upon the land
Darkness calls
To those that strand
Upon the bank
Of the river deep
Blessed in years
Not ours to keep
The river she knows
Why I go
She feels my tide
My ebb and flow
So I ride
My rhythm’s sweet
Into the night
By the river deep
The river she knows
How things grow
How to run deep
For the river she keeps
The river she knows
How things grow
How to run deep
For the river she keeps
