River's Orange

RIVER'S ORANGE I

Stony maidens cry their tears A'

From that water you are born

You found your path mile by mile

you see so much on your way

You pass me by, standing here

Watching you from the save shore

Standing here day and night time

You invite my soul to pray

I'm right here, where you unite A+

With the one that named myself

Named my people, our land

Water unites deep and wild

By the landmark I'm waiting

Want to flow away with you

All by myself, quiet, free

Pulse gets lower, thoughts get mild

River's orange B

Suddenly I understand the river's words

River's ornage

Suddenly I hum the sound you mumble

River's orange

Suddenly I understand the river's words

River's Orange

Here something touched my soul

'Cause the water washes away anything that hurts

And one time in the still of the night C

While I'm waiting here

I may sense the answer

I may get an idea

And one time in the still of the night

While I'm waiting here

I may sense the answer

An image that is almost clear

River's waves and waters will wash away my fear

Stony maidens cry their tears A*

From that water you are born

Nothing can stop you flowing

There is still so much to see

Flowing up north, there's no doubt

A part of me will follow

But what happens at your end?

Or if you dry out like me...
