River River

The future is just rain

The past is just rain too

The river runs just here

Where I am here with you

I used to dream of gold

Now all I have to say

River, river

While I am still willing

Wear me away

River, river

While I am still willing

Wear me away

Where I am now

Wear me down and away

And part the reeds of memory

And let them close again a tired eye

Now that we allow the rain

To break us down and bring us back to life

And you, a leaf of gold I'll hold

Until it's all that remains

River, river

While I am still willing

Wear me away

River, river

While I am still willing

Wear me away
