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
They all must pay a price
To be safe we lose our chance of ever knowing

What's around the river bend
Waiting just around the river bend
I look once more
just around the river bend
Beyond the shore
where the gulls fly free
Don't know what for
What I dream the day might send
just around the river bend
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 river bend
Just around the river bend
I look once more
just around the river bend
Beyond the shore
somewhere past the sea
Don't know what for
Why do all my dreams extend
just around the river bend
Just around the river bend

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 river bend?
