big river big river

why'd you hurry past me

are you trying to make it out

into the deep blue sea

big river big river

where do you gotta go

maybe you should take it slow

little river little river

why aren't you very wide

do your twists and your turns

lead you out to the tide

little river little river

where your big river go

haven't been together since you were snow oh

oh oh

tall tree tall tree

how'd you get way up high

did the water below help you grow to the sky

tall tree tall tree

can you see to the waves

did the rivers make it out okay oh

oh

gray whale gray whale

have you ever heard the tale

of the big and little river

that flowed along the trail

by the tall tall trees

swaying in the ocean breeze

watching them as they meet

digging little river and the sea
