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

There's a motel in texas
Hard bed on the wide blue sky
Had a Dream there
But morning came too soon
I roll over and I said it out loud
I said, "Give me one more moment
Just one more moment
To finish this dream"
I wanna be more like a river
And less like a wall
Not try to hold back
These feelings at all
'Cause when I miss you
When I'm dying to kiss you
I gotta let that flow
More like a river
There's a house in the mountains
Filled with bits of me and you
I had a dream there
But morning came too soon
I've been holding on
It's been holding me back
I don't wanna give in
But I know what you'd say to me
"Finish this dream"
Can I be more like a river
And less like a wall
Not try to hold back
These feelings at all
'Cause when I miss you
When I'm dying to kiss you
I gotta let that flow
More like a river
'Cause in the mornings
There are kids, and dogs, and bills, and sunlight
And a new day, and a new day
And another new day without you

Sometimes you walk like an angel
Sometimes you walk like a man
Sometimes you crawl like a baby
Makes me forget who I am
Have you ever been held before
Like honey to the bee
I've never been held before
Like you hold me
Chorus:
You make me feel like a river
Like a water overflow
Wanna shout it out from the Mountain
Wanna sing it on the radio
I'll sell my soul like a sinner
If it means you'll never go
I think the sun is finally rising
Its burning down because I miss you
I'm gonna walk right through the fires
Cos all I wanna do is kiss you
Rain falls, won't wash this away
I'll build a stonewall to make you stay
You make me feel like a river
Like a water overflow
Wanna shout it out from the Mountain
Wanna sing it on the radio
I'll sell my soul like a sinner
If it means you'll never go
You make me feel like a river
Like a water overflow
Wanna shout it out from the Mountain
Wanna sing it on the radio
I'll sell my soul like a sinner
If it means you'll never go
Never go

This is a flowing river, like no other
A constant power, a spirit enduring
Running through like blood
Shining freedom, truth in a world full of deception
Embodied in passion for grace
Always growing, always full
It will run through like blood
This is for the broken, seeking out redemption,
Nothing else can heal through and through
This is for the people, singing restoration
It will run, river of life empower
It stands at the front lines declaring
Called into being free, pouring out and overflowing-
alive
Flowing like water, streams of living water

LIKE A RIVER
IT'S HIGH ON A MOUNTAIN THE WARM WINDS ARE BLOWING
G Am C G
AND WHERE THE WINDS ARE BLOWING TO, THERE AIN'T NO WAY
OF KNOWING.
G Em C G
THE MOUNTAIN GRASS IS SHORT, IT'S DRY AND CLOSE TO
BURNING.
G Am C G
CRYING OUT FOR WATER AS THE SEASON'S TURNING.
G Em C G
THE SWEET SMELL OF THE PINES, THE TALL WESTERN CEDAR
G Am C G G
DRIFTING ON THE WIND THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS LIKE A
RIVER.
I'VE BEEN TOO LONG AWAY FROM THIS WILD OPEN SKY
G Am C G
ON THE CONCRETE TRAILS THAT WIND THROUGH THE CANYONS
DARK AND WIDE
G Em C G
WITH THE SOUNDS OF PEOPLE TALKING IN WORDS OF BLUE AND
GREY
G Am C G
SMELLS OF DOORS AND WINDOWS CLOSED AGAINST THE DAY
G Em C G
THE SWEET SMELL OF THE PINES, THE TALL WESTERN CEDAR
G Am C G G
DRIFTING ON THE WIND THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS LIKE A
RIVER.
NOW THE DUST LIES THICK AND HEAVY WHERE MY FEET ARE
FALLING
G Am C G
THERE'S NOTHING BUT THE SOUND OF THE JAYBIRDS CALLING
G Em C G
MY MIND GROWS DRY AND THIRSTY AS THE MEMORIES LINGER
G Am C G
DRIFTING ON THE WIND THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS LIKE A RIVER
G Em C G
THE SWEET SMELL OF THE PINES, THE TALL WESTERN CEDAR
G Am C G G
DRIFTING ON THE WIND THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS LIKE A

people, you can find it
a common ground safe and sound
untouched and unconfined
we all need it
somewhere we can go
to live our lives in paradise
no way we'll do without it
and although its just a drop in the ocean
someday we'll all be free
free as the wind
like a river you flow through my veins
somehow i feel i belong right here
like the rain that falls
i know i can stay right here
in mother love land
and nature has its ways
of showing us its way had enough
with the way we treat each other its not to late
for a change
where theres love theres a change
we can make this world unite
and although its just a drop in the ocean
someday we'll all be free
free as the wind
like a river you flow through my veins
somehow i feel i belong right here
like the rain that falls
i know i can stay right here

She skirts like
A river skirts riverbanks
Her skirt moves like
A stream
And she smokes
Her smoke like she's passionately in love
And she is
I suppose
In love with someone
She'll have a gin and tonic
I'll have a whiskey
Her drinks are held
Like apples held by apple kings
Get up
Let's walk
Get up
Get up
