The river

Here with you, my love
In a boat upon the river
The mist is rising now
Above the water dark
We're letting go of the ties
And we can move with the flow
And here with you, my love
I'll go wherever you go

We have watched this river
Flow for years together
Different moods and seasons
Through all kinds of weather

I've seen this river
Swell with the winter rains
I've seen it slow
With the springtime flow
In summer, it will get smooth as polished glass
And in autumn, it carries away
All the leaves on the blast
We have watched this river
Flow for years together
Different moods and seasons
Through all kinds of weather

We have watched this river
Flow for years together
Different moods and seasons
Through all kinds of weather
With my love here beside me
My home on a shore
In the presence of your beauty
I am longing for more

We have watched this river
Flow for years together
Different moods and seasons
Through all kinds of weather
We have watched this river
Flow for years together
Different moods and seasons
Through all kinds of weather
