river

Singer: john denver

river

there are no stars in the city. here

there is no telephone in the trees. beautiful days fall on the water

and all i can do is write you a letter. river

it's cold here in the morning. later

i can see it in your eyes. wild and white

we follow the canyons. quiet at night

we stare at the sky. leaving you now will never change me. running away will change the view. all i can see is the highway. river

you will carry me through the fire. maybe you'll drown me in your arms. but if i die like that

it won't be like dying. when i rise again

the ashes are mine. leaving you now will never change me. running away will change the view. all i can see is the highway. all i can see is you.
