What I love most about rivers is
You can't step in the same river twice
The water's always
changing, always flowing
But people, I guess,
can't live like that
We all must pay a price
To be safe, we lose our
chance of ever knowing
What's around the river bend
Waiting just around the river bend
I look once more
Just around the river bend
Beyond the shore
Where the gulls fly free
Don't know what for
What I dream the day might send
Just around the river bend
for me, coming for me
I feel it there beyond those trees
Or right behind these waterfalls
Can I ignore that sound
of distant drumming?
For a handsome sturdy husband
who builds handsome sturdy walls
And never dreams that
something might be coming?
Just around the river bend
Just around the river bend
I look once more
Just around the river bend
Beyond the shore
Somewhere past the sea
Don't know what for
Why do all my dreams e tend
Just around the river bend,
Just around the river bend
Should I choose the smoothest course
Steady as the beating drum?
Should I marry Kocoum?
Is all my dreaming at an end?
Or do you still wait for me, dream giver
Just around the river bend?
