The river hums a song I know
Through mountains carved by endless flow
A thousand moons have kissed its face
Whispering secrets
Time can’t erase
Timeless river
Carry me
To where the sky meets the sea
Your voice is ancient
Wild
And free
Timeless river
You’re my plea
A willow bows to touch your skin
Its branches write where dreams begin
I see her shadow on the shore
She waits for love that comes no more
The stars
They blink
They understand
This story’s written in the sand
Timeless river
Carry me
To where the sky meets the sea
Your voice is ancient
Wild
And free
Timeless river
You’re my plea
Echoes rise from the canyon deep
Promises made
But none to keep
The erhu cries
The guzheng weeps
A love that lingers
A heart that leaps
