Lyrics
She runs through my marrow crisp cool and clean
Like blood in my veins when the morning's first gleam
Tumbling over granite laughing out loud
Never stops moving never backs down
Floating on the river I love
Drifting where the current's enough
Cruising by the herons wings folded in grace
This gift from above lights up my face
Oh the river I love the river I love
She carries me home she carries me home
In the shadow of the mountain the only one I know
She carves out her story through a thousand year snow
Riffle past the willows where the stoneflies crawl
Soft whisper of water answering my call
Floating on the river I love
Heart wide open head full of sun
Cruising by the herons standing so still
Teaching me patience teaching me will
Oh the river I love the river I love
She's everything I'm dreaming of
When the world gets too heavy and the noise won't subside
I close my eyes and I'm back on her tide
She never asks questions she never keeps score
Just keeps on running forevermore
Floating on the river I love
Every bend feels like it was sent from above
Riffles and pools and the sweet summer rain
She's my beginning she's my refrain
Oh the river I love my favorite my all
The only one I answer when the wild waters call
Tumbling over rocks... never wanes...
My river... my river... my river I love
