One to Run the River With
(Noel McKay, Richard Dobson, Copyright 2012)
If I run the river with you, will you run the river with me?
Those you run the river with are few and far between.
Would you trust your life with me?
I trust mine in you because you're one to run the river with and I'll run the river with you.
The river carved this canyon for a hundred million years. I expect it will a hundred million more.
I've let its waters quench my thirst, I've given it my tears and I've laid down beside its peaceful shores.
I don't know how long it will take to learn its every crook and bend but I know a friend when I meet a friend.
If I run the river with you, will you run the river with me?
Those you run the river with are few and far between.
Would you trust your life with me?
I trust mine in you because you're one to run the river with and I'll run the river with you.
I've journeyed all alone up where the water's clear and clean and it starts out as a tiny mountain stream
But I have yet to travel to the place I long to be; where the river empties out into the sea.
I don't know how long it will take to learn its every crook and bend but I know a friend when I meet a friend.
If I run the river with you, will you run the river with me?
Those you run the river with are few and far between.
Would you trust your life with me?
I trust mine in you because you're one to run the river with and I'll run the river with you.
