Cowboy Junkies - River Waltz Lyrics
I'm going to find me a dying riverand strike a deal with her I'll say."I'll fold you in two and I'll carry you awayto a place where your headwaters will flowclean through to your mouth".in return I'll request a small sanctuaryby her banks where we will livewith our small familyshe will water our gardenand clean the dirt from our skin.While the word clamours at our doorwe will dance and not let them in.and if one day we wake up to a bed dry as a bonefind our river stolen, find our sanctuary gonewe will stand and take stock and be gratefulfor what we've not lost.we will pack up our bags, pack our small familyhead across the valley to where the aspen treesshiver as they ascend-the green hills rising to blue.at the edge of the shopping we will turnand bid fond ädieu".All that I know to be trueis the touch of your hand on my skin.one look from you can so easily sootheall this turmoil within.as we dance cheek to cheekwith our feet so completelylocked in a time all our own.I stop to speakbut you gently keep memoving in time to the song.and in a voice that is sloppy with ginyou say, "let the world spin".I'm going to find me a dying riverand strike a deal with her I'll say,Ï'll fold you in two and I'll carry you awayto place where your headwaters will flowclean through to your mouth".in return I'll request a small sanctuaryby her banks where we will livewith our small familyshe will water our gardenand clean the dirt from our skin.while the world clamours at our doorwe will dance and not let them in.
