RIVER OF LOVE

There is a river, a River of love
Swift as a wish, slow as a mind unmade up
Mountains are mine, and valleys I claim
But onto dark water, that's where I came
River of love, river of love
There is a stone on the shore
Must weigh hundred pounds or more
To live this life, you must leave the ground
I held it closely and followed it down
I'm going swimming in the river of love
I'm going swimming in the river of love
River of love, river of love
There is a bed where my baby lays
Where turtles walk and fishes play
The deeper the water, the deeper the breath
Close your eyes darling, don't come up yet
I'm going swimming in the river of love
I'm going swimming in the river of love
River of love, river of love
I'm going swimming in the river of love
I'm going swimming in the river of love
River of love, river of love
There is a river, flows much like this
Swift as a lifetime, slow as a kiss
Over the banks, over the trees
Under dark water, that's where I'll be
River of love, river of love
River of love, river of love
I'm going swimming in the river of love
I'm going swimming in the river of love
River of love, river of love
I'm going swimming in the river of love
I'm going swimming in the river of love
River of love, river of love
I'm going swimming in the river of love
River of love, love, love
