Track 3 off the band’s 2015 album The Waterfall, this song’s rich with H20 imagery, and therefore falls in a long musical tradition of “water songs,” like Roberta Flack’s “River.”
Notably the verse line structure is short, choppy pairings, many of which seem to riff off the line “river flowing.”
Like A River Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Breeze has blown
Leaves have fallen
Days grow short
River flowing
Bird has flown
Misty morning
Path well-worn
River flowing
Finally home
Sun is shining
Weather's sweet
River winding
[Chorus]
Like a river flowing, like a river winding its way
Like a river flowing, like a river winding its way
Like a river flowing, like a river winding its way
Like a river flowing, like a river
(Hey-eh-oh-way-eh-oh-way-eh-oh-way-eh-oh-way-eh-oh-way-eh-oh-way)
[Verse 2]
Time has come
World in motion
Heart of man
Swept into the ocean
[Chorus]
Like a river flowing, like a river washes away
Like a river flowing, like a river washes away
Like a river flowing, like a river winding its way
Like a river flowing, like a river
