Like A River---Carly Simon[00:00:01]
Dear mother the struggle is over now[00:00:03]
And your house is up for sale[00:00:08]
We divided your railway watches[00:00:12]
Between the four of us[00:00:16]
I fought over the pearls[00:00:21]
With the other girls[00:00:26]
But it was all a metaphor[00:00:29]
For what was wrong with us[00:00:32]
As the room is emptying out[00:00:36]
Your face so young comes into view[00:00:39]
And on the back porch is a well-worn step[00:00:44]
And a pool of light you can walk into[00:00:49]
I'll wait no more for you like a daughter [00:00:54]
That part of our life together is over[00:01:02]
But I will wait for you forever[00:01:09]
Like a river [00:01:17]
Can you clear up the mystery of the Sphinx [00:01:33]
Do you know any more about God [00:01:36]
Are you dancing with Benjamin Franklin[00:01:38]
On the face of the moon [00:01:43]
Have you reconciled with Dad [00:01:47]
Does the rain still make you sad [00:01:50]
Last night I swear I could feel you[00:01:54]
Moving through my room[00:01:57]
And I thought you touched my feet[00:02:02]
I so wanted it to be true[00:02:04]
In my theater there is a stage[00:02:08]
And a footlight you can step into [00:02:12]
I'll wait no more for you like a daughter [00:02:18]
That part of our life together is over[00:02:26]
But I will wait for you forever[00:02:33]
Like a river [00:02:42]
In the river I know I will find the key[00:02:50]
And your voice will rise like the spray[00:03:16]
In the moment of knowing[00:03:19]
The tide will wash away my doubt[00:03:21]
'Cause you're already home[00:03:27]
Making it nice for when I come home[00:03:30]
Like the way I find my bed turned down[00:03:36]
Coming in from a late night out [00:03:39]
Please keep reminding me[00:03:43]
Of what in my soul I know is true[00:03:45]
Come in my boat there's a seat beside me[00:03:49]
And two or three stars we can gaze into [00:03:54]
I'll wait no more for you like a daughter [00:04:01]
That part of our life together is over[00:04:09]
But I will wait for you forever[00:04:15]
Like a river[00:04:28]
