I've got a moon. Out my window. In the night. . And I've got a sun. Out my doorway. When it gets light. . I've got stones. On the mountain. And a clear, blue.
Where the snow melts and the shadows bend. Weeping willows dance and the sea swells. At the river's end calling in the trance. . And our eyes meet while the watermill.
Runnin' fast climbin' to the sky. A piece of pie hit me in the eye, tidal wave got me on the run. Now I'm out lookin' for an answer. Got a date with a Spanish dancer butter weighs half a ton.
Every thing's freezin' up fast. Everyone's lookin' for wood. Some folks say, "It won't last". Some folks say, "It's for good". . I got my lady and my time to kill.
River runnin', river runnin'. River runnin' down to the sea. River runnin', river runnin'. River runnin' down to the sea. Down to the sea. . Take it easy, take it easy.
(MANDOLIN INTRO). the blacksmith dreams of a white queen. the blacksmith dreams of a queen. the cobbler dreams of a gold ring. the cobbler dreams of a ring.
(INTRO). out on the sea, there is an island. out on the sea, there is a place. out on the sea there's a wave. with the power to save. all the sailors from the dark and the deep.
(GUITAR INTRO). I know it's been thought, I know it's been done. I know it's been said, I know it's been sung. you can grin like a 'possum, or live like a thief.
The old cat on the roof. He could stand a little push. 'Cause he's got. Nine good lives to live. . But like my mama said. You only live till you're dead.
(GUITARS INTRO). now a tear. leaves you only a trace. and the sun. finds its way to your face. . it couldn't be better,. it couldn't be better, Lord. than it is right now.
I never read it in a book, I never saw it on a show. But I heard it in the alley on a weird radio. If you want a drink of water, you got to get it from a well.
(GUITAR & KEYBOARD INTRO). sometimes I know how good it feels. to be as free as a rolling wheel. cause then you just appear to me. within the shapes of things I see.
(PIANO INTRO). if you want me to sail. to the far end of the island. if you want me to dive down. and gather you pearls. if you want me to shine. like a light up in the lighthouse.
I'm going back to Colorado. Rollin' down the highway. Just my life to carry. It's written in the wind. Again. . I will drink from the river. That runs down from the mountain.
