So Long River 3:30

So long river…you look so familiar.
Have you ever…been here before?
Did you join the ocean, and the rain,
To come back again?
Did you change your name along the way?
River, why don't you stay?

We'll watch the sun find the moon,
Watch the dipper…
Take a spoonful of evening,
And hide it till morning.

I swam through the moon…
To arms of light…
Black water holding me tight.
River, don't go away.
River, why don't you stay?

We'll watch the sun find the moon,
Watch the dipper…
Take a spoonful of evening,
And hide it till morning.

This day is near over…
Night has begun…
Crossing the bridge to the sun.
River, don't go away.
River, why don't you stay?
