River of Light Lyrics

Heading off on a river at peace in the cool of an evening
Heading off on a river of light, be a part of a river at night
Nice to be on a river sometimes, like a junebug traveling
Heading off on a ribbon of song, been away from the river too long
Good to be on a river somewhere, like a milkweed traveling
Heading off on a ribbon of dreams, be a part of a river it seems
Can you tell me how long must I travel on?

I won't be looking up old friends, I won't be looking up old friends ever again

I spent my life taking my time and I can't change anything
Take a look at my river of light, be a part of a river at night
Nice to be on a river at peace, like a junebug traveling
Heading off on a river at last, my tears will be all in the past
Good to be on a river somewhere, like a milkweed traveling
Heading down where the water runs deep, down deep where the fish are asleep now
Can you tell me how long must I travel on?

I won't be looking up old friends, I won't be looking up old friends ever again..

Trouble don't mean nothing to me, and I had my share of it
Heading off on a river of light, be a part of a river at night
Nice to be on a river at peace, in the cool of an evening
Heading off on the silver moon light, maybe love'll find me tonight
Good to be on a river somewhere, like a milkweed traveling
Heading off on a ribbon of dreams, be a part of a river it seems
Can you tell me how long must I travel on?

I won't be looking up old friends
I won't be looking up old friends ever again, ever again
