RIVER RIVER
(©2002 L. Fiorentino)

Do you have a story, one that can’t be told
The one that has given you wings and become to heavy to hold
A tale can be the only tether that ties me to the ground
So won’t you please tell me a story
I promise I won’t make a sound

I need a river river river washing over me
Rain dancing upon my skin, So I can feel you right now
I don’t know where you’re going
and I sure don’t know where you’ve been

there’s got to be a way for you to tell me
just what you’ve been through
and somehow I might be able to feel the way you do
so if you had no instrument, no voice, no gun, no brush, no pen
if you could be anything, what would you be, my friend


would you be a river river river….
Hay-eee-ay-eee-ah-woe-hay-ah
Hay-eee-ay-eee-ah-woe-hah

Would you become a wild beast, an angel or a rock
would you move like water
would you stick and click, rigid as a clock
would you throw your arms around me, and cry till you were done
or would you curse like a volcano, ha ha, spitting at the sun

would you become a circle, or a line bent out of shape
would you laugh like a puff of smoke beneath your magic cape
would you try to frighten me, would you hold my hand
would you press your lips to my brow
would you pin me to the land

just like that river river river….

Because I have been a traveler and I’m weary and dry as a bone
I’ve been to long out on the road that cuts through the unknown
The road has led me around the world
The road now comes to you
Won’t you tell me something I don’t know
Something real, something true
(like that, right out of the blue)

Like a river river river…..I need that river washin’ over me
I’ll be that river river river washing over you…
