The River

(Peter Lavender)
December, 2006
I held you once a long time ago
When the world was changed forever
I felt your smile begin to flow
From your face right through to my soul

But you belong to the river
The river that I love
And looking out on the water
It’s you that I’m still dreaming of.

I felt your laugh linger in the air
Long after you had gone forever
And looking back I could almost swear
I’d never heard you laugh before

Cause you belong to the river
The river that I love
And looking out on the water
It’s you that I’m still dreaming of.

The sun goes down behind the falls
Like it has done forever
The ripples slap high against the walls
Another voice reminding me.

That you belong to the river
The river that I love
And looking out on the water
It’s you that I’m still dreaming of.
