When I was hoppin freights and makin payments on the farm
Here between the angels and the deep blue sea
You were runnin, laughin, growin sheltered from the storm
Dreamin of the day the moon would set you free
Yeah, to sing your siren song so sweet and warm
River run deep
River run slow
Get a little restless
Wanna see some whales blow
River run cold
River run clear
That feeling always gets to me
Round about this time of year
Scoutin unknown borders under multi-colored moons
In the wildest flights of cosmic mystery
Rang a single soarin tone that strung the sky in tune
As the silence in my heart rose from the sea
Aaah, to greet you in the dawn with a pale harpoon
River run restless
River run high
Runnin thru a hailstorm
Try to catch a star on the fly
River run muddy
River flow like tears
Cocoon of life surroundin us
Holdin all our hopes and fears
Reach behind the wind
Search beyond the stars
Were the life on Mars
When the day grows dark and scary scatterin the light
All the colors run away and hide behind your knees
The same sweet thunder tumbles rollin down the night
Like a mothership that calls for you and me
Come on, and drift along that sky river bright
River run swiftly
River run wide
Feel like sailin
On the morning tide
River run golden
River run true
Set a course and follow
Ooooh, the star that leads to you
