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

When you heart's beating like a forest fire And you can't handle the heat When you feel lost and all you hear is silence You gotta run to me When you keep drifting on an endless ocean Your thoughts all getting too deep And when the summer nights are getting colder Gotta run to me Oh, run, run like a river Run, run like a river Run, run like a river, run Run, run like a river Like a river that runs to the sea Gotta run to me If it feels like all your dreams are broken And you fall down on your knees Oh, you gotta get up and just keep on going Gotta run to me Run, run like a river Run, run like a river Run, run like a river, run Run, run like a river Like a river that runs to the sea Gotta run to me Gotta run Gotta run Gotta run Like a river that runs to the sea You gotta run Run, run like a river Run, run like a river Run, run like a river, run Run, run like a river Like a river that runs to the sea Gotta run to me Like a river that runs to the sea You gotta run to me

I woke up thinking you were still here My hands shaking with regret I've held this dream for such a long long time And I wanna get up To the rhythm of a wild, to the rhythm of a wild heart That beats, that beats like a rolling drum I saw you standing on the corner I saw you standing on your own And I get the feeling that it's, it's all a dream And I wanna get up To the rhythm of a wild, to the rhythm of a wild heart That beats, that beats like a drum When I fall asleep I can see your face What I lost in you I will not replace And I could run away, I could let them down But I will remember your light Your light it follows me in darkness I'm trying hard but I can't win And I've played the victim for a long long time And I wanna grow up From the rhythm a young, from the rhythm of a younger heart It leads just like a river runs That night I sent over the parkway The summer's gone and I'm alone And I get the feeling that you're somewhere close And I wanna get up To the rhythm of your wild, to the rhythm of your wild heart It beats, been beating since you've gone When I fall asleep I can see your face What I lost in you I will not replace And I could run away, I could let them down But I will remember When I fall asleep I can see your face What I lost in you I will not replace And I could run away, I could let them down And I know you're gone but still I will remember your light I will remember I will remember I will remember I will remember And if you see me in the darkness I hope you know I'm not alone I carry you with every breath I take I won't let up, I won't let up Until the wind is gone

At the end of summer we set off like trains In the humid, hot weather walking, no sign of rain we rolled At thirty miles, stopping only for barley water Three sons of parents and another pair of parent's daughters Walking down the tracks Walking down the tracks Walking down the tracks Walking down the tracks Smoke from the forest fires, filled up the air While we jumped in the lake tired, in our underwear And then kept traveling on, upon trestles through the darkness The full moon glowing orange, in the woods we found a spot to rest On the tracks Walking on the tracks Walking on the tracks Walking on the tracks We went walking on the tracks Walking on the tracks Walking on the tracks Walking on the tracks Oh, that old-time feeling of walking without a care All them natural joys and fears do rise and raise our hair Walking on the tracks (ta-tar-tara-tara) Walking on the tracks (ta-tar-tara-tara) Walking on the tracks (ta-tar-tara-tara) Walking on the tracks (ta-tar-tara-tara) Walking on the tracks (ta-tar-tara-tara) Walking on the tracks (ta-tar-tara-tara) Walking on the tracks (ta-tar-tara-tara) Walking on the tracks (ta-tar-tara-tara) Walking on the tracks (ta-tar-tara-tara) Walking on the tracks (ta-tar-tara-tara) We went walking on the tracks (ta-tar-tara-tara) Walking on the tracks (ta-tar-tara-tara) Walking on the tracks (ta-tar-tara-tara) On down the tracks (ta-tar-tara-tara) We went walking on the tracks (ta-tar-tara-tara) Walking on the tracks (ta-tar-tara-tara) We went down
