river of time

i saw the river today and it made me feel okay

but i never ever had a lot to say

reading a book take a look at a boat go by

oh

oh

oh

oh i sigh -

i've been throwing a coin into the river

make a wish as i watch the water quiver

now and then i go walking by the river of time

leaving all my thoughts behind

i saw the river today and it made me feel free

oh tell me what is happening to me

i catch my reflection and suddenly see

the woman the girl couldn't be

so i'm throwing my youth into the river

make a wish as i watch the water quiver

now and then i go walking by the river of time

leaving all my thoughts behind

winter comes and goes

and the wind it blows

still the water flows

and everybody knows

come the summertime all the churches chime

for thye river of time

i saw the river today and i started to cry

cause the promise it made was a lie

stumbling brook you're a crook

take a look and see

see what you've done to me

so i'm throwing my heart into the river

forget the wish that you never could deliver

now and then i go walking by the river of time

leaving all my thoughts behind

winter comes and goes

and the wind it blows

still the water flows

and everybody knows

come the summertime all the churches chime

for thye river of time

so i'll keep throwing a coin into the river

forget the wish that you never could deliver

now and then i go walking by the river of time

leaving all my thoughts behind

see as your life changes as you're pulled along by time.
