©River, Flow For Me
By BR Chitwood
(1)
I look out over the valley
From atop this tall, tall, Pine,
And I can see the river flowing
Down through this land of mine…
(Chorus)
River, keep on flowing,
River, flow for me,
River, keep on flowing,
Take my Misery…
River, keep on flowing
Over forgotten ground
River, keep on flowing
Let my Peace be Found…
(2)
There, on the bank of the River
Sits a love that I once knew –
Her hair aglow in the sunlight,
Her eyes lost in the sky so blue.
Where does she go at Twilight,
The love that I once knew?
Does she go in search of tomorrow?
In the arms of someone new?
(Chorus)
River, keep on flowing,
River, flow for me,
River, keep on flowing,
Take my Misery…
River, keep on flowing,
Over forgotten ground
River, keep on flowing,
Let my Peace be Found.
(3)
River, how far do you go?
Winding through the trees…
Do your muddy waters run deep –
With sad stories and memories?
Where do your troubled waters go,
Old River, at the final bend?
Do they go to the sea and flow
With All Life’s tears at the end?
(Chorus)
River, keep on flowing,
River, flow for me,
River, keep on flowing,
Take my Misery…
River, keep on flowing
Over forgotten ground,
River, keep on flowing,
Let my Peace be found.
