i've been here

draw me no maps

vow me no vows

no they-perhaps

just here-and-nows

tomorrow's dream is not my dream

it comes too late and i can't wait

the river runs with one remark

get on your way

it's growing dark

and so i live to have my say

to get and give each burning day

and if in time i find my love

he'll find that i'm no frightened dove

for all too soon young love is passed

it's tender leaves fall off too fast

each rising hill

each falling stream

cause to fulfill each day's new dream

some brighter road to fly along

some stronger wine

some wilder song

and when i'm gone don't shed one tear

the world will know that i've been here!
