Moonchild River Song Songtext
von Eric Andersen

Take me quiet like a river
Like the silver strings that sing for you
Love will make it better
And I′m sorry that you saw me blue
I'll tell you of a sunrise
On a Texas plain so long ago
I looked into your sad eyes
And I couldn′t say I loved you so

But I love you like the mountains
I love you like the sea
I love you like a highway that always runs through me
I love you like the forest
Quiet of the trees
I love you, darling, like a river now that runs deep in me


Lonesome in a valley
Long ago you said that you had a home
Your lover, he went his way
And love has finally come and gone
Love must be the answer
'Cause in the good books that's what I′ve read
Soon the moon will rise in Kansas
So stay and gently make my bed

But I love you like the mountains
I love you like the sea
I love you like a highway that always runs through me
I love you like the forest
Quiet of the trees
I love you, darling, like a river now that runs deep in me

After we have waited
And that old highway won′t steal my song
Together we'll lie naked
Together we may catch the dawn
You will see my devils
And I will see your darkness too
When the light has settled
I will sing this song to you


But I love you like the mountains
I love you like the sea
I love you like a highway that always runs through me
I love you like the ocean
Quiet of the breeze
I love you, darling, like a river now that runs deep in me
