River of Time

From It's About Time

There once lived a maid by the river of time (C-C/B-Am-Am7)

In the land of no regret (F-G-C-G)

And I was a boatman sailing down (C-C/B-Am-Am7)
To the city of never forget (F-G-C)

And the wind came up and the storm came up (Am-Em)

And I brought my boat to the shore (F-C-G)

The shore of the river, the river of time (C-C/B-Am-Am7)

And I came to this maiden’s door (F-G-C)

2. This maiden was lovely, this maiden was fair

This maiden was wise and free

I knew that she loved me by the way she cared

By the songs that her heart sang to me

And I took her love and I gave her love

And I guess that I always will

Remember the maid by the river of time

When the river of time stood still

3. But there came a day when she turned to say

I’d best be movin’ on

For she bore the curse of the river of time

If I lingered her youth would be gone

Her truth and her wisdom, her beauty too

Would vanish away like a flame

But if I sailed on down the river of time

For me, they would always remain

4. Now I’ve grown old sailin’ that river of time

In the land of no regret

And I have loved many, and I have loved one

In the city of never forget

But I remember the maid by the river of time

And I wonder if she thinks of me

Like islands that wait in the river of time

Unchanged in our own memory

Like islands that wait in the river of time

Unchanged in our own memory
