Old River Lyrics

do you remember Old River,
as you run so fast, as you run so far?
do you remember Old River,
as you run so fast, as you run right past?

did the shores that you flew by go by in a blur,
or did you see the little children there?
on the banks as they played in the afternoon light,
in the wake of your water as you did run on by...

do you remember Old River,
as you run so fast, as you run right past?
you passed by a hill so sturdy and calm,
the land lit up with homes in it's arms,
the land lit up in the half-moon light,
you carved out a mountain as you ran on by that night...
do you remember Old River,
as you run so fast, as you run right past?
so many things you've seen Old River,
they didn't go by too quickly for you to catch your sweet memories,
for you to hold your moons and mountains,
for you to wash the many ankles of the children
as they play and as they splash and as they tumble round and laugh
and as they skip and as they jump and as they dance and as they run on by...

do you remember Old River,
as you run so fast, as you run right past?
now you'll remember Old River,
remember everything, remember as you dream...
