Riverbend - Karmin

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

I don’t know what for

What I dream the day might send

Jut around the riverbend

For me (for me), for me (for me)

Coming for me (for me), for me (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

Waiting just around the riverbend

I look once more

(I look once more)

Just around the riverbend

Beyond the shore

(Beyond the shore)

Somewhere past the sea

I don’t know what for

(I do know what for, what do I do just beyond the shore?)

Why do all my dreams extend

Just around the riverbend?

Should I choose the smoothest course

Steady as a beating drum?

Should I, should I, should I marry on?

(So, am I dreaming at an end?)

Oh, do you still wait for me, Dream Giver?

Do you still wait for me, Dream Giver?

Do you still wait for me, Dream Giver?

(Just around the riverbend)

Oh, do you still wait for me, Dream Giver?

Do you still wait for me, Dream Giver?

Do you still wait for me, Dream Giver?

(Just around the riverbend)

I look once more

(I look once more)

Just around the riverbend

Beyond the shore

(Beyond the shore)

Somewhere past the sea

I don’t know what for

(I don’t know what for, what do I do just beyond the shore?)

Why do all my dreams extend

Just around the riverbend?

For me (for me), for me (for me)

Coming for me (for me), for me (for me)

Ooo-oo-ooo

Ooo-ooo
