Layton & Johnstone — Weary River

[Verse] Poets say our lives are like the rivers that flow They surely know true Everyone a different kind of stream, so they say All on our way too Here's a raging torrent that's dashing on strong Here's a peaceful rivulet bubbling alone [Chorus] I have been just like a weary river That keeps winding endlessly Fate has been a very cheerful giver To most everyone but me Oh, how long it took me to learn Hope is strong and tides have to turn And now I know that every weary river Someday meets the sea! [Chorus] I have been just like a weary river That keeps winding endlessly Fate has been a very cheerful giver To most everyone but me Oh, how long it took me to learn Hope is strong and tides have to turn And now I know that every weary river Someday meets the sea!
