about

Recorded 1978-1980 in Seattle

lyrics

The River

If you could see the many faces
Of the people of your day
Would you know them any better
Or would you simply turn away

I’ve known them in the factories
I’ve known them in the street
Their love, and pain a secret
No man that I’ve known could ever keep

The river, she flows gentle
The river, she flows wild
May every man grow old with grace
May every man never lose his child

Guitar

I’ve thought about those faces
And the meanings that they hold
Most of them are only feelings
That we all share like we share growing old

I’ve known them in the factories
I’ve known them in the street
Their love, and pain a secret
No man that I’ve known could ever keep

The river, she flows gentle
The river, she flows wild
May every man grow old with grace
May every man never lose his child
