I’ve Been Here

Draw me no maps, vow me no vows No they-perhaps, just here-and-nows Tomorrow's dream is not my dream It comes too late and I can't wait The river runs with one remark Get on your way, it's growing dark And so I live to have my say To get and give each burning day And if in time I find my love He'll find that I'm no frightened dove For all too soon young love is passed It's tender leaves fall off too fast Each rising hill, each falling stream Cause to fulfill each day's new dream Some brighter road to fly along Some stronger wine, some wilder song And when I'm gone don't shed one tear The world will know that I've been here!
