Lyrics

There’s a rhythm to this river A constant wending of time unending
Someone stood beside this water Like me with tears aflow
A thousand years ago

And cried for lives gone by only aware of one
Lost love or last goodbye yet feeling every one

I won’t say I knew you were coming but when I saw you
My heart knew you
And when you reached inside my dreaming and gave it to me
I knew you knew me

I cry for lives gone by only aware of one
Lost love and last goodbye yet feeling every one

I will not see you in another face
I will not see you in my favorite place
I will not see you - so I will be you

Yes I can feel you in the water as she unfolds me
And holds me
And I can hear you in the laughter of my dear friends
And when my fear ends

I cry for lives gone by only aware of one
Lost love and last goodbye yet feeling every one

I may not see you in your picture, here
I may not see you in what I hold dear
I may not see you - so I will be you

Yet maybe in this quiet water
When I look with love
I’ll see you then

I want to see you in the winded tree
I want to see you when I look at me
I want to see you - so I will be you
