River Songtext
von Georgia State Line

I remember in the old yard
There was a river
And how that river liked to run
Towards somewhere, brighter and green
Oh, river why must you run?

Oh, river I cannot keep you
You could never stay
Just like the seasons, the reasons for answers
That′s why all rivers must run


So at the pearly gates
I'll wait for your return
Dying to see you, and dying to be near you
Oh, it′s funny how time makes us wait

Oh, river I cannot keep you
You could never stay
Just like the seasons, the reasons for answers
That's why all rivers must run

In my old age, I'll look upon this river
And think how you liked to run
Towards the hillside, the treetops, and the seaside
Oh, river this was why you′d run


Oh, river I cannot keep you
You could never stay
Just like the seasons, the reasons for answers
That′s why all rivers
That's why all rivers must run
