Call of the River

Come away (come away)

And follow me



She will call you

From the winding



Come away (come away)

And follow me



She will call you

Reminding



Come feel along your side

The long cool touch

Of current

Like a far remembered life



Come quicken to the now you hear

Cutting off from closer years

Bounding into heavy pouring sounds



Come quick into the icy sting

Sharpening to everything

Pounding boundaries



Come away (come away)

And follow me



On a winding

To the sea



Come away (come away)

And follow me



Unwinding

To be free



And the call of the river

A man will answer

Cause he's thirsty

For a far remembered life



Of pulsing to a larger rhythm

Feeling things that now lie hidden

Clean and cold within

The liquid taste of leaf and rock

The timing to a slower clock

Yearning for dampened

Musty wood



Come away (come away)

And follow me



She will call you

She knows



Come away (come away)

And follow me



Come taste this life

And grow
