What I love most about rivers is You can't step in the same river twice The water's always changing, always flowing But people, I guess, can't live like that We all must pay a price To be safe, we lose our chance of ever knowing What's around the riverbend Waiting just around the riverbend I look once more Just around the riverbend Beyond the shore Where the gulls fly free Don't know what for What I dream, the day might send Just around the riverbend For me Coming for me I feel it there beyond those trees Or right behind these waterfalls Can I ignore that sound of distant drumming? For a handsome sturdy husband Who builds handsome sturdy walls And never dreams that something might be coming Just around the riverbend Just around the riverbend I look once more Just around the riverbend Beyond the shore Somewhere past the sea Don't know what for Why do all my dreams extend Just around the riverbend? Just around the riverbend Should I choose the smoothest course Steady as the beating drum? Should I marry Kocoum? Is all my dreaming at an end? Or do you still wait for me, dream giver Just around the riverbend?

Tap the brakes cause we was moving too fast How am I to know the future if I don't know your past First thing we gotta do is exchange a little truth Think of it as an extended interview So stop, what if you don't get the job And ya already gave me all the love that you got Was a cash crop and the value just dropped See I been looking for a long term investment That's what the sex meant But I guess that I was wrong about you too So hasta la vista, it was really nice to meet ya But you don't keep it real so mama said I couldn't keep I will be riding on that midnight train And I don't know when it's coming in But if you were there to pick me up You know I would give you all of my love Yeah and, what would you do if you woke up tomorrow And you found that I was gone Well I ain't the type of man to give advice But if I were you I would just move on I gotta heart like a three legged dog And it don't sleep unless it's laying in the street On that cold concrete I will be riding on that midnight train And I don't know when it's coming in But if you were there to pick me up You know I would give you all of my love I will be riding on that midnight train And I don't know when it's coming in But if you were there to pick me up You know I would give you all of my love

I've been the street over which you walk I've been the music over which you talk I've been the blues that make your rock And I've been the shoe over your foot and sock I know the noise you make when you move and I, I know the touch that it takes to make your whole body groove I know the way you move across a crowded room But somehow I am a stranger sitting here next to you Cause you never took the time to let me know What was on your mind no no you Never took the time to let me know You never took the time to let me know What was on your mind no no you Never took the time to let me know So I am my bed too big Just a little to big for one and I, I am that midnight moon staring down at the sun and I, I am that windy day just alittle tooo cold for fun I am the moment that you left And never came home Cause I never took my time to let you know What was on my mind no no I never took my time to let you know I never took my time to let you know What was on my mind no no I never took my time to let you know
