lyrics

By The River
Lee/ B. Wolfe
Nacido Libre Music/ Think Of One (ASCAP)

Meet me by the river near the warm spot under the sun/ Meet me down by the rocks, away from everyone Along comes a stranger, shared glance and she looks familiar/ “Where do I know you from?”
She said a past lifetime

Share a smile, share a laugh/ And she's gone/ Shared a moment and now again I'm alone
Shared this wish, shared this dream/ Shared this feeling/ Shared what we had by the river

Sometimes words are too much/ Sometimes I love you too much
Sometimes it just hurts me so much/ Sometimes, sometimes

Near the horizon just passed forever down by the soothing sunset
Near the birth of a dream under the shade of hopes/ That's where we met
A stranger passes/ Love is lost and gone/ These things happen by the river

Share a smile, share a laugh/ And she's gone/ Shared a moment and now again I'm alone
Shared this wish, shared this dream/ Shared this feeling/ Shared what we had by the river

Meet me by the playground where the children run and play
Meet me on the merry-go-round where I can hold you through the day
Meet me in the open fields to play a game of tag
Watch this game begins/ I hope it never ends

Share a smile, share a laugh/ And she's gone/ Shared a moment and now again I'm alone
Shared this wish, shared this dream/ Shared this feeling/ Shared what we had by the river

Willow led me here! Pilentze Pee via Mir Stanke Le. The opening quotes in the description about sounds and the voice as an instrument resonate strongly with me. My first intro to Agnes Obel and the Late Night Tales series, what a phenomenal idea! Love the mix of selections and original material, Bee Dance packs so much punch for its track length zephyr707
