Year of the River

It was the year of the river And in the rush it seemed Everything I loved Was moving away from me And on the banks I watched As the waters rose When the rocks gave way Had to learn to let go And if love is a surrender Then I cannot recall If I've ever let go quite enough To be in love at all Love at all It was the year of the flood Rain, three hundred sixty-five days She said 'call me back, when you're Ready to think of someone else for a change' So I pulled on the thread From the edge of my sleeve Until my heart Unraveled in me And if love is a surrender Then I cannot recall If I've ever let go quite enough To be in love at all And if love is wild Gotta ride it while you can Let it roll on 'till it ends Was the year of the river And in the rush it seemed Everything I loved Was moving away from me Moving away from me Moving away from me Moving away from me
