lyrics

All my life I've tried to carry all the million lights
That sail away slowly down the river-stream
All these memories drifting by
With threads to hold on tight
In my heart, I dream

Ruby sunset glowing
Over a thousand grieving hills
All edges shining
With a coming loss to be
The old willow weeping
And like the yearning lark I'm still
In my head I worry

That birds no longer sing
And daisies never bloom
That love is just a thing
Or spring will go too soon
That I just can't pretend
That we will always

Row and flow where our river goes
On forever with a love that glows
And If I ever try to cry out to the sky
And say: "I love you"
I hope you'll be there to reply
