Just Around The Riverbend
What I love most about rivers is:You can't step in the same river twiceThe water's always changing, always flowingBut people, I guess, can't live like thatWe all must pay a priceTo be safe, we lose our chance of ever knowingWhat's around the riverbendWaiting just around the riverbend
I look once moreJust around the riverbendBeyond the shoreWhere the gulls fly freeDon't know what forWhat I dream the day might sendJut around the riverbendFor meComing for me
I feel it there beyond those treesOr right behind these waterfallsCan I ignore that sound of distant drummingFor a handsome sturdy husbandWho builds handsome sturdy wallsAnd never dreams that something might be coming?Just around the riverbendJust around the riverbend
I look once moreJust around the riverbendBeyond the shoreSomewhere past the seaDon't know what for ...Why do all my dreams extendJust around the riverbend?Just around the riverbend ...
Should I choose the smoothest curveSteady as the beating drum?Should I marry Kocoum?Is all my dreaming at an end?Or do you still wait for me, Dream GiverJust around the riverbend?
