Intro
Chorus
Being drawn along by it
carried under carried away
by it's long-term membership
Verse
Whether laying down
yourself beside it
or slipping into
its cool and rushing effects
or drifting on it
to where it broadens
your admiration for,
for its more elusive aspects
Chorus
By the time the
ice-huts hit the bottom
we were already home
in bed
the most worthy men and the
fiercest architects
they couldn't fight the current
they couldn't save, they couldn't save the sheds
Chorus
Bring on the springtime
bring on the houseflies
bring on the butterscotch
river overspilling its banks
if you got you some
withering power to amuse
you'll find its greatest frustration
has its entertaining value
Chorus
X2)
river wide(X2)
river wonder us
