Like a bird, on the wing, like a melody, you can't quite sing
Like a cloud, blowin' by, she's a whisper, she's a tear in my eye
Like a drop of dew, in the mornin' sun, like a rumor, she's on the run
Like a leaf, droppin' from a tree, she ain't fallin', she's flyin' free
SHE'S A RIVER, AND SHE'S ALREADY GONE
SHE'S A RIVER, HEADIN' FURTHER ON
WATER SEEKS ITS LEVEL, RUNNIN' TO THE SEA
SHE'S A RIVER, SHE'S FLOWIN' AWAY FROM ME
Like a dream, you can't recall, you're not sure, it was there at all
Seemed so clear, but now it's fadin' fast
You watch the future, become the past
SHE'S A RIVER, AND SHE'S ALREADY GONE
SHE'S A RIVER, HEADIN' FURTHER ON
WATER SEEKS ITS LEVEL, RUNNIN' TO SHE SEA
SHE'S A RIVER, SHE'S FLOWIN' AWAY FROM ME
Like a song, floatin' in the sky, you gotta try to grab it, as it passes by
If you don't catch it, it's lost in the wind
That one ain't comin', round again
SHE'S A RIVER, AND SHE'S ALREADY GONE
SHE'S A RIVER, HEADIN' FURTHER ON
WATER SEEKS ITS LEVEL, RUNNIN' TO SHE SEA
SHE'S A RIVER, SHE'S FLOWIN' AWAY FROM ME
SHE'S A RIVER, SHE'S FLOWIN' AWAY FROM ME
Like a cloud, blowin' by, she's a whisper, she's a tear in my eye
Like a drop of dew, in the mornin' sun, like a rumor, she's on the run
Like a leaf, droppin' from a tree, she ain't fallin', she's flyin' free
SHE'S A RIVER, AND SHE'S ALREADY GONE
SHE'S A RIVER, HEADIN' FURTHER ON
WATER SEEKS ITS LEVEL, RUNNIN' TO THE SEA
SHE'S A RIVER, SHE'S FLOWIN' AWAY FROM ME
Like a dream, you can't recall, you're not sure, it was there at all
Seemed so clear, but now it's fadin' fast
You watch the future, become the past
SHE'S A RIVER, AND SHE'S ALREADY GONE
SHE'S A RIVER, HEADIN' FURTHER ON

SHE'S A RIVER, SHE'S FLOWIN' AWAY FROM ME
