Lyrics
Flowing Mountain Stream
© 2014 Sahlen-Starburst
When its springtime in high country when the sunshine melts the snow
I'll be knee deep in my history in a mountain stream I know
With my rod and reel in hand and a hook upon the line
I'll be fishing for lost memories to come nibbling one last time
(chorus)
May your waters run right though me may your current dry my tears
May I find the truth within you to bring comfort through the years
The memory of a lost love's like a long forgotten dream
I'll be searching in the waters of this flowing mountain stream
I remember how your blonde hair fell like satin round your breast
The truth reflected in your eyes, your mood was always best
And the salmon struggled upstream and we thought they'd never cope
We cheered them on with laughter and you filled my heart with hope
(chorus)
May your waters run right though me may your current dry my tears
May I find the truth within you to bring comfort through the years
The memory of a lost love's like a long forgotten dream
I'll be searching in the waters of this flowing mountain stream
(instrumental bridge)
(chorus)
May your waters run right though me may your current dry my tears
May I find the truth within you to bring comfort through the years
The memory of a lost love's like a long forgotten dream
I'll be searching in the waters of this flowing mountain stream
Some memories need be buried cause the pain is just too much
The good times need recalling like the softness of your touch
The memory of a lost love's like a long forgotten dream
I'll be searching in the waters of this flowing mountain stream
(chorus)
May your waters run right though me may your current dry my tears
May I find the truth within you to bring comfort through the years
The memory of a lost love's like a long forgotten dream
I'll be searching in the waters of this flowing mountain stream
