Love me like a river does Cross the sea Love me like a river does Endlessly Love me like a river does Baby don't rush you're no waterfall Love me that is all Love me like a roaring sea Swirls about Love me like a roaring sea Wash me out Love me like a roaring sea Baby don't rush you're no waterfall Love me that is all Love me like the earth itself Spins around Love me like the earth itself Sky above below the ground Love me like the earth itself Baby don't rush you're no waterfall Love me that is all

As years are passing by Silence becomes your friend You see the world in a different way Don't be afraid of getting old Life's still full of joy And the beauty of the past is rejoicing your mind When days are getting short And winter comes along Your life slows down and down Like a river is getting wide The worlds have lost their voice You remember your morning flowing to the endless sea When days are getting short And winter comes along Your life slows down and down Like a river is getting wide The worlds have lost their voice You remember your morning flowing to the endless sea Life's like a river in the mountain Life's like a sea without end Life's like a river in the mountain Life's like a sea without end Life's like a river in the mountain Life's like a sea without end Life's like a river in the mountain Life's like a sea without end

Dear mother the struggle is over now And your house is up for sale We divided your railway watches Between the four of us I fought over the pearls With the other girls But it was all a metaphor For what was wrong with us As the room is emptying out Your face so young comes into view And on the back porch is a well-worn step And a pool of light you can walk into I'll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you, forever Like a river... Can you clear up the mystery of the Sphinx? Do you know any more about God? Are you dancing with Benjamin Franklin On the face of the moon? Have you reconciled with Dad? Does the rain still make you sad? Last night I swear I could feel you Moving through my room And I thought you touched my feet I so wanted it to be true In my theater there is a stage And a footlight you can step into... I'll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you, forever Like a river... In the river I know I will find the key And your voice will rise like the spray In the moment of knowing The tide will wash away my doubt 'Cause you're already home Making it nice for when I come home Like the way I find my bed turned down Coming in from a late night out. Please keep reminding me Of what in my soul I know is true Come in my boat, there's a seat beside me And two or three stars we can gaze into... I'll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you forever Like a river... I'll never leave, always just a dream away A star that's always watching Never turn away We'll never leave, always just a thought away A candle always burning Never turn away The moon will hide, the tree will bend I'm right beside you I'll never turn away

(One, two, three, four) Was a long Monday, Tuesday gone Wrote it down in a song Paradise lost but paradise found It all comes back around You'll go on, on, on, on Just like the river, you'll go on And you'll go on, on, on, on, mm Just like the river, you'll go on Liberated eyes and a Buddha smile All the class, all the style Now you're on a highway, windows rolled down Knowing just where you're bound And you'll go on, on, on, on Just like the river, you'll go on And you'll go on, on, on, on (mm) Just like the river, you'll go on Another reason, going on by Like a cloud in the sky (mm) And like the world you went around Knowing life goes up and down And goes on It goes on, on, on, on Just like a river, it goes on And it goes on, on, on, on, mm Just like a river, it goes on You'll go on, on, on, on (mm) Just like the river, you'll go on You'll go on, on, on, on Just like the river, you'll go on
