RIVER It's strange how these things happen You and I meeting It must have been fate that brought us together By the river Now we push out from shore In a boat without an oar and we go with the flow The river runs slow and the river runs deep Casting your fate to the river is a leap of faith The day is long in the summer and The night is warm when you're with your other And always, yes always, the water rolls along Comes a time in every child's life, have to make a decision Leaving home but promise to write It's a full moon and Mars is high in the sky The stars above are shining so bright Can it be an illusion? No, no, no. In a hurry now, the timing's right Leaving home to go Home But where is the home for the wanderer? For the nomad who pitches his tent by the water? Home is where love is So, don't let your brother be homeless, no 'Cause the river runs slow, and the river runs deep And for every moment of joy, there's a moment of grief And the night is long in the winter and Some days are cold on the river But always, yes, always, the water rolls along
