How did you find me, how could you tell
I needed to watch how you look
So much behind me I can't see ahead
Tell me how I can let go

Always a dreamer that lived in the clouds
And I never did what I should
Not very keen doing what I was told
And sometimes I'm back when I'm gone
Yes, sometimes I'm back when I'm gone

Me and the river we raise and fall
Me and the river run deep
Sometimes we wind back where we began
Sometimes we just have to meet
Me and the river we will

Not one pleasure a man of few words
Yes that really kept him inside
We were the treasure he hid in his heart
One thing he never deny

Mother would step us a light in her eyes
It shone like no others could be
Giving her life so we all could survive
I wish she were still here with me
I wish they were still here with me
Me and the river we raise and fall
Me and the river run deep
Sometimes we wind back where we began
Sometimes we just have to meet
Me and the river we will
