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
Just 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 course
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?
