River Song

The gypsies know my future The angels know my past I roll around this big wide world To find a love to last I'm weary from my wandering Lord I'm wounded in a war I'll lay me low where the willows grow Listen to that river song River runs by my window River runs by my door River runs so sweet Might never roam no more Might never roam no more I've seen the stars falling on the mountains I've seen the moon rising from the sea I never ever saw a sight so sweet As that woman in my arms asleep They say that honey heals the body They say that music can soothe the soul I've learned the heart has reasons That reason can not know River runs by my window River runs by my door River runs so sweet Might never roam no more Might never roam no more I don't know where that river roams But she goes around the bend Just might roll around the great wide world Come on home again River runs by my window River runs by my door River runs so sweet Might never roam no more Might never roam no more From The Tom Rush Anthology CD Sony/Legacy Records 1999
