The river speaks so clearly

I see you sitting in the moon light

Your feet bare and toes digging into the sand

As we sit along the banks

of the rumbling Green River in Kentucky

And I watch you deeply breathe in the musty odor

Of the tumbling water

as it makes its way

Through the hills of Kentucky

The air is still and quiet

But the river speaks so clearly

The silent prayer like a calming mantra

Reminding us of where we came from

and guiding us to where we're going

The river speaks so clearly.

To you

To me.

Watching you like this

In your true element

Takes my breath away

You so love the water

I see your lips dlowly curl inyo

A grin of such bliss and joy

As you stand up and suddenly

Run into the river and

Arching into a beautiful dive

And For a moment my heart pounds in fear

I cannot swim and I always worry that you will not surface

But you always do

You always come back

You always come back to me

Your soul somehow always finds me

bringing us back together

The air is still and quiet

But the river speaks so clearly

The silent prayer like a calming mantra

Reminding us of where we came from

and guiding us to where we're going

The river speaks so clearly.

To you

To me.

To me.

Yo us.

The river speaks so clearly
