Intro

 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

 We all must pay a price

 To be safe, we lose our chance of ever knowing

What's around the riverbend

 Waiting just around the riverbend

 I look once more

Just around the riverbend

 Beyond the shore

Where the gulls fly free

 Don't know what for

 D9sys

What I dream the day might send

Just around the riverbend

 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 riverbend

Just around the riverbend

 I look once more

Just around the riverbend

 Beyond the shore

Somewhere past the sea

 Don't know what for ...

Why do all my dreams extend

Just around the riverbend?

Just around the riverbend ...

Should I choose the smoothest curve

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?
