Every River

I walk my own way and seize my own fortune There's nothing I'm affording to lean upon Looking back we were wild and we were free Every river must meet the sea She plays her own hand And she looks her own way I was always coming Just running a little late Then she said goodbye She said it so sweet Guess every river Must meet the sea If I could then I would Stay for another But I've got some other place to be Don't you cry for me baby Every river must meet the sea I'll do my best And get on with this living Won't ask for no forgiveness If you don't ask it of me And I'll roll with the dice And I will lay down my defences 'Cause every man needs some warm place to be If I could then I would Start it all over But being in love don't mean as much as being free So don't you cry for me baby Every river must meet the sea In years to come I want you to write me a long love letter About the people you met And all the places that you've been Maybe then, we'll understand it so much better Once both our rivers have seen the sea If I could then I would Start it all over But being in love don't mean as much as being free So don't you cry for me baby Every river must meet the sea
