Until My Heart Grows Quiet

There's a river that runs from the border of Canada Down the east of Vermont, the west of New Hampshire Right through the center of a state that gave me a home That river it runs through the City of Hartford And if you follow it south you'll find the place I was born Right at its mouth where it rips into the Sound And I will follow that river every mile From the north as a woman, the south as a child It taught me to carve my path through through the wild And with it I'll run, run, run until my heart grows quiet There's a highway that runs from New York to Boston And in a week this old car has driven it twice Through sun, sleet, and ice I've been on it all of my life And I will follow that highway every mile Counting the exits since I was a child It taught me to carve my path through the wild And with it I'll run, run, run until my heart grows... Quiet. Will ever grow quiet? I have followed that river every mile Running from something since I was a child It brought me to you so I'll stay here a while And with you I'll run, run, run With you I'll run, run, run With you I'll run, run, run until my heart grows quiet
