Long ago
Next to my window in the night
I’d find my bed and lie down
Turn my head just right
To listen for the river song

Flowing within its rhythm
A wave crashes with a rock
A bass breaks the surface
A lone goose trails his flock

Some midnight cruiser
Heading for home
Hear the hum of his engine
A fading pitch tone

The roll of the lakers
Keeps the beat along the way
Two pass each other in stereo
Then the horns begin to play

A peaceful easy feeling
Yes that’s another song
But your senses get reeling
This is where you belong

The melody of the river
Is free and there for you
Just turn down your volume
Let that symphony come through

As for me, I’ll bide my time
Keep dreaming of the day
To hear the song of the river
That river shore can play
