Climbing under

a barbed wire fence

by the railroad ties



climbing over

the old stone wall

I am bound for the riverside



well I go to the river

to soothe my mind

ponder over

the crazy days of my life

just sit and watch the river flow



find a place

on the riverbank

the green rushes grow

see the wind

in the willow tree

in branches hanging low



well I go to the river

to soothe my mind

ponder over

the crazy days of my life

watch the river flow

ease my mind & soul

where i go



well I will go to the river

from time to time

wander over

these crazy days in my mind

watch the river flow

where the willow branches grow

by the cool rolling waters

moving gracefully and slow



child it's lovely

let the river take it all away

the mad pace, the hurry

the troubles, the worries

just let the river take them all away

flow away
