River Run, River Flow lyrics

Spinning wheels and fishing reels and cockeled shell perfume

Woolen shores and marketstores and flowers in full bloom

Understanding people who will never stop and stare

That is where I want to be

River, won’t you carry me back there?

River run, river flow

Take me where I long to go

There’s a place you will find

Not too far away

It’s quite near today, in my mind

Village full of cottages that no one ever planned

Only cotton tablecloths, but always made by hand

Cobbled stones and herring bones and sailboats gleaming white

That’s the shore I’m looking for

Hope we make it by the morning light

River run, river flow

Take me where I want to go

There’s a place you will find

Not too far away

It’s quite near today, in my mind

River run, river flow

Take me where I want to go

There’s a place you will find

Not too far away

It’s quite near today, in my mind

Riding on the riverboat

And moving pretty slow

But I know I’m gonna make it

‘Cause the good Lord told me so

River run, river flow

Take me where I want to go

There’s a place you will find

Not too far away

It’s quite near today, in my mind

River run, river flow

Take me where I want to go

There’s a place you will find

Not too far away

It’s quite near today, in my mind

Ooh… in my mind

Ooh… in my mind
