[Verse 1] Well, the evening rain washed out the riverbed And the red clay had gone painted the river red And I stood just as shaggy as a hickory stem Are your eyes still as bright as I remember them?
[Verse 2] Today the self-born are mocking both the growing and the dying While their whims play games with this heart of mine For we both took to flame like a sun-soaked pine Takes to firelight high in the summertime
[Chorus] We graced the fiddle with a dance And the song that we sung Served to remind that we're not yet unyoung And the music rolled through us like a river runs For a river knows that the waters are one
[Verse 3] Around a circle of flame where the living draw near [Ah/All?], the dead whisper a good word in a ready ear Of the love they'd make if only they were here And the chance they'd take before it disappears
[Verse 4] But seems all was found just a little too late Now hope lies hiding all alone in wait While the rhythm in my head pines for the way That we danced the way we did the day...
[Chorus] We graced the fiddle with a dance And the song that we sung Served to remind that we're not yet unyoung And the music rolled through us like a river runs For a river knows that the waters are one
[Bridge] And as I closed my eyes 'neath a waking sky With my head on the ground I prayed the morning light would bless what the night Had found in between this old world and a dream
[Verse 5] As you walked through the field in the open air You were caught in the field of another's stare I was finding how hard it can be to [bare/bear?] The pain that gains all the more you care
[Verse 6] Now I find beauty only in death upon a stage And the rhythmed string of lonely words hurled upon a page While the river rolls on through every age Just the same way, oh, that it did the day...
[Chorus] We graced the fiddle with a dance And the song that we sung Served to remind that we're not yet unyoung And the music rolled through us like a river runs For a river knows that the waters are oneTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
