lyrics

By the River Blues

Wish I could hear the wind and never think of you
Wish I could watch the morning and only see the sun
I'd like to fall asleep with sleeping on my mind
Never wake from dreaming, never dreaming I ain't fine

I guess I'd like to fly but I ain't got no wings
I'd like to sail around the world just for the song to sing
I'd like to write a song for you just to see you smile
Maybe hold my hand, maybe just sit here for a while

The river she's a rolling all my thoughts of you
Tonight she's dark but morning will make her green and blue

You seem to laugh like summer and you seem to smile like spring
You can make my heart dance like rain on a diamond ring
I'd like to hold you in my arms and see me in your eyes
Walk with you 'til morning stretches across the sky

I sit here by the water and I watch the dock-lights roll
Around in their reflection as the wind begins to blow
I'd like to think they're stars that have fallen from the sky
And not just lights on water that remind me of your eyes

I'd like to hear the wind blow, I'd like to see the sun
I'd like to find the star that you make your wishes on
I'd like to hold you in my arms and see me in your eyes
Walk with you 'til morning dances across the sky
