Story Behind The Song
Times goes in a straight line, point to point. Even though we want it to go sideways when things are good it's impossible to make time stand still although it's nice to try. You never know you may be the one to do it.

06 River Man.txt
River Man
Your callous hands
steady
Ply the oars
I want to drift away
downstream
But you only
row
From shore to shore
River Man
Can we stay awhile
on the bank of willow trees?
Or where red cypress grows
along the river bank
As far as I can see
But You beckon without speaking
And we have to go
Your hands gripped hard
to the oars
Pulling steady
to the other shore
River Man
could we drift awhile
In the warm forgiving sun ?
But in my heart I know
that The River
waits for no one
River Man
River Man
Drifting
Drifting
If only
to linger a little more
Drifting
Drifting
Before we hear
the keel
meet
the waiting pebbled shore
River Man
River Man
River Man
