- Like A River Lyrics / with translationsLIKE A RIVER
G G
IT'S HIGH ON A MOUNTAIN THE WARM WINDS ARE BLOWING
G Am C G
AND WHERE THE WINDS ARE BLOWING TO, THERE AIN'T NO WAY
OF KNOWING.
G Em C G
THE MOUNTAIN GRASS IS SHORT, IT'S DRY AND CLOSE TO
BURNING.
G Am C G
CRYING OUT FOR WATER AS THE SEASON'S TURNING.
G Em C G
THE SWEET SMELL OF THE PINES, THE TALL WESTERN CEDAR
G Am C G G
DRIFTING ON THE WIND THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS LIKE A
RIVER.
G G
I'VE BEEN TOO LONG AWAY FROM THIS WILD OPEN SKY
G Am C G
ON THE CONCRETE TRAILS THAT WIND THROUGH THE CANYONS
DARK AND WIDE
G Em C G
WITH THE SOUNDS OF PEOPLE TALKING IN WORDS OF BLUE AND
GREY
G Am C G
SMELLS OF DOORS AND WINDOWS CLOSED AGAINST THE DAY
G Em C G
THE SWEET SMELL OF THE PINES, THE TALL WESTERN CEDAR
G Am C G G
DRIFTING ON THE WIND THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS LIKE A
RIVER.
G G
NOW THE DUST LIES THICK AND HEAVY WHERE MY FEET ARE
FALLING
G Am C G
THERE'S NOTHING BUT THE SOUND OF THE JAYBIRDS CALLING
G Em C G
MY MIND GROWS DRY AND THIRSTY AS THE MEMORIES LINGER
G Am C G
DRIFTING ON THE WIND THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS LIKE A RIVER
G Em C G
THE SWEET SMELL OF THE PINES, THE TALL WESTERN CEDAR
G Am C G G
DRIFTING ON THE WIND THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS LIKE A
RIVER.
G G
IT'S HIGH ON A MOUNTAIN THE WARM WINDS ARE BLOWING
G Am C G
AND WHERE THE WINDS ARE BLOWING TO, THERE AIN'T NO WAY
OF KNOWING.
