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
