THE RIVER (Steve Gillette and Charles John Quarto) I've seen the paddlewheelers Rollin' south on a summers day I've seen lovers at the guardrails With stars in their lemonade And I've heard the hoboes gather Heard their banjos grace the glade Heard them sing about the river Called it the lazy man's parade Sing me that song about the river, green goin' away I always did feel like a drifter, about this time of day Last night I stood by the highway Pretended I was on my way You know a hundred thousand headlights Couldn't match the milky way And when the moonlight touches the water Surely something touches me And I go reaching for the river Like it,s reaching for the sea Sing me that song about the river, green goin' away You know I always did feel like a drifter 'Bout this time of day Some things go on forever The truth don't ever stray The wind may brush the water But the river holds her sway Sing me that song about the river, green, goin' away I always did feel like a drifter, 'bout this time of day Sing me that song about the river, green goin away You know I always did feel like a drifter 'Bout this time of day @country @travel @river Filename[ THERIVER SG Copyright 1990, Foreshadow Songs, BMI Used by permissio ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY
