Winter has gone - it was so long
And I am still caught in its wake
I’m not feeling up – I’m not feeling down
I’m just sick of the smile that I fake
There’s a jumble of thoughts, twisting my brain
Recurring dreams I cannot explain
I feel like a stone, lying unthrown
On the bank of a glistening stream

So spin me around –till I hear the sound
Of the waves and the wind in my hair
If you are my earth – I’ll be your sky
Between us there’s so much to share

My soul is bright in the light that you shed
You’re clear and vivid, inside my head
When life weighs me down, you come around
And carry me away….

Chorus:
You’re a river – I’m soaking up your verve
Feel your quiver – swimming in your surf
You’re a raging river – I’m going with your flow
Feel your torrent quiver – and dive deep down, drift real slow

Time shared with you, is precious and true
And so soothing in moments of hurt
Wise or askew – funny or blue
I’m sleeping wrapped in your words

Fleeting dreams - when night turns to day
Visions of bliss – drifting away
But when I hold you close to my heart
You can make them stay

You’re a river – I’m soaking up your verve
Feel your quiver – swimming in your surf
You’re a raging river – I’m going with your flow
Feel your torrent quiver – and dive deep down, drift real slow

Guit. Solo:

You’re a river – I’m soaking up your verve
Feel your quiver – swimming in your surf
You’re a raging river – I’m going with your flow
Feel your torrent quiver – and dive deep down, drift real slow

You’re a river…....You’re a river……You’re a raging river…
…..now this is your cue….. I’m counting on you….
