Carry My Soul

Well you'd think That I'd learn my lesson Well you'd think that I'd learn it long ago That I can't control the speed or the direction I must let the river carry my soul How many drifting hours Have I longed to love you Raindrops shining for a moment in the sun How many miles 'fore the wheel of the seasons Turns its way back to where it once begun Well you'd think That I'd learn my lesson Well you'd think that I'd learn it long ago That I can't control the speed or the direction I must let the river carry my soul How many years In service of a stranger How many years only waiting on a friend How many turns of the earth will I wander Before I make it back to my home again Well you'd think That I'd learn my lesson Well you'd think that I'd learn it long ago That I can't control the speed or the direction I must let the river carry my soul I must let the river carry my soul How many eyes How many gleaming colors Flowers falling light upon the heavy stones How many tears shed in joy and lost in sorrow Leave those gardens for a world of their own Leave those gardens for a world of their own Leave those gardens for a world of their own
