Susan Indest, Caitlin Evanson - The River Lyrics

Once we sat by the river
Paddlewheels shimmered in the heat
Dirty Mississippi slow water flowed by
Cathedral clock tolled across the street

We laughed about the time
You slipped down slick rocks
You cried for looking weak
I knew you were ashamed
So I slid down too
Landed at your feet

Our love flows just like a river
Bends and changes, overflows
Never counts the days or years
And like our love
The river forever grows

I dreamed we were wading in a river
Pyramids loomed nearby
Bathed and washed our clothes
Among the reeds and rocks
Watched a falcon soar across the sky

I stood on the banks of river Styx
Begged for you to stay with all my might
You shook your head, waved goodbye
I cried as you drifted out of sight

We waded in the river Nile
Stood on the bank of river Styx
Forever flow with me
Just like this
