The River

Times they are a changing and times they are a moving And everything I ever knew will never be the same I lie awake in the same old way But there is something in the air and it's calling me and I know I'll follow I don't think about it anymore As the summer ends, I think of our last goodbye It's hard to imagine the season without you by my side And I know this winter is going to be especially cold Like the river I roll along Today I'm here, tomorrow I'm gone I saw a group of birds passing by They were moving like a school of fish in the sky I hold onto that moment and keep it close to me Cuz it's times like that, that I feel so small And I'm humbled and I feel one with it all And my roots dig deep and my branches are so high Like the river I roll along Today I'm here, tomorrow I'm gone Like the river I roll, I roll along Today I'm here, tomorrow I'm gone I've walked and I've walked and I still have so far to tread I just need to keep that flock of birds inside my head And that fluttering inside my chest Like the river I roll along Today I'm here, tomorrow I'm gone Like the river I roll I roll along Today I'm here, tomorrow I'm gone
