There's a river in the sky
It makes me wonder why
I can't shoot the breeze
And sit down next to you.
The stories we could tell
Of all that befell us
On the road from yesterday till now
If I could only navigate
That river in the sky.
Oceans of dreaming
Thoughts that never let me go
There's water under the bridge
I can't swim that stream
That separates you from me.
There's a river in the sky
An impassable divide
I can only cross blind
With pennies on my eyes
Some people say
That one day
I may see you again.
The River in the sky
Past and future divide
Current running eternal strong
Everybody everything
Goes down to the river
Washes the world away
A universal fate.
