Just Around The River
Bend
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
Jut 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
extend
Just around the
river bend?
Just around the
river bend ...
Should I choose the
smoothest curve
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?
