I saw the river today and it made me feel okay,
But I never ever had a lot to say,
Reading a book take a look at a boat go by,
oh, oh, oh, oh I sigh -
I've been throwing a coin into the river
Make a wish as I watch the water quiver,
Now and then i go walking by the river of time,
Leaving all my thoughts behind
I saw the river today and it made me feel free,
Oh tell me what is happening to me,
I catch my reflection and suddenly see,
The woman the girl couldn't be
So I'm throwing my youth into the river,
Make a wish as I watch the water quiver,
Now and then i go walking by the river of time,
Leaving all my thoughts behind
[Chorus Chant:]
Winter comes and goes, and the wind it blows,
Still the water flows, and everybody knows,
Come the summertime all the churches chime
For thye river of time
I saw the river today and I started to cry,
Cause the promise it made was a lie,
Stumbling brook you're a crook, take a look and see
See what you've done to me
So I'm throwing my heart into the river,
Forget the wish that you never could deliver,
Now and then I go walking by the river of time,
Leaving all my thoughts behind
Winter comes and goes, and the wind it blows,
Still the water flows, and everybody knows,
Come the summertime all the churches chime
For thye river of time
So I'll keep throwing a coin into the river,
Forget the wish that you never could deliver,
Now and then I go walking by the river of time,
Leaving all my thoughts behind
See as your life changes as you're pulled along by time...
