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   They all must pay a price   To be safe we lose our chance of ever knowing      What's around the river bend   Waiting just around the river bend   I look once more just around the river bend   Beyond the shore where the gulls fly free   Don't know what for   What I dream the day might send just around the river bend   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 river bend   Just around the river bend   I look once more just around the river bend   Beyond the shore, somewhere past the sea   Don't know what for   Why do all my dreams extend just around the river bend   Just around the river bend      Should I choose the smoothest course 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?
