[Verse 1]
You sit in silence and the river answers
And I have loved you many, many years
I saw you standing by the wonderous river
And I have come today to calm your fears
[Chorus]
Those lifetimes
So many lifetimes with you
[Verse 2]
The boatman singin' far across the water
What is this feelin' in my heart and soul?
The nighttime angel spreads her wings around me
And I feel the sadness and the river flows
[Chorus]
Those lifetimes
So many lifetimes with you
[Post-Chorus]
Listen to the music inside
That is all that you have to do, oh yeah
Listen to the music inside
Can't you hear what it says to you?
[Verse 3]
And I shall get to know you in these lifetimes
In awe and wonder on down through the years
The nighttime angel spreads her wings around me
I feel the silence and my doubts are cleared
[Chorus]
Those lifetimes
So many lifetimes with you
[Post-Chorus]
Listen to the music inside
That is all that you have to do now, oh yeah
Listen to the music inside, oh
Can't you hear what it says to you?
(Many lifetimes, many lifetimes)
Listen to the music inside
That is all that you have to do now, oh yeah
Listen to the music inside
Can't you hear what it says to you?
[Outro]
Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen
Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen
Listen to the music inside
Can't you hear, can't you hear what it says to you?
Can't you hear what it says to you now?
You gotta sit right down
Sit right down and listen to the music inside
And that is all, that is all, and that is all
And that is all that you have to do now
Listen, listen
Listen to the music
The music, the music, the music inside
That is all that you have to do
That is all that you, that is all that you have to do
Listen to the music, listen to the music inside
