lyrics

RIVER PLEASE CARRY ME

I went on a journey in a dream
I was floating on a raft down a stream
Down a stream – in a dream

No place to go and no place to be
Just drifting down the river very casually
Casually – to the sea

River Please Carry Me
To the place I long to be
Oh river won’t you please carry me
That’s all I ask of thee

Gaze to the left and then to the right
It’s a forever changing beautiful sight
Beautiful sight – day or night

Lie on my back and look to the sky
The sky is blue and I wonder why
I’ll wonder why - ‘till I die

Oh River Please Carry Me
To the place I long to be
Oh river won’t you please carry me
That’s all I ask of thee

Your water is cool and crystal clear
Your surface reflects like a shimmering mirror
Your shimmering mirror – reflects my tears

You deliver me and you ask no fees
Your gracious drift has no boundaries
No boundaries – how I envy thee

Oh river won’t you please carry me
To the place I long to be
Oh river won’t you please carry me
I just want to be free
