Like A River - Carly Simon[00:00:00]
Written by:Carly Simon[00:00:00]
Dear mother the struggle is over now[00:00:02]
And your house is up for sale[00:00:06]
We divided your railway watches[00:00:10]
Between the four of us[00:00:15]
I fought over the pearls[00:00:19]
With the other girls[00:00:24]
But it was all a metaphor[00:00:27]
For what was wrong with us[00:00:31]
As the room is emptying out[00:00:35]
Your face so young comes into view[00:00:38]
And on the back porch is a well worn step[00:00:42]
And a pool of light you can walk into[00:00:46]
I'll wait no more for you like a daughter[00:00:52]
That part of our life together is over[00:01:00]
But I will wait for you forever[00:01:07]
Like a river[00:01:16]
Can you clear up the mystery of the Sphinx[00:01:31]
Do you know any more about God[00:01:35]
Are you dancing with Benjamin Franklin[00:01:38]
On the face of the moon[00:01:42]
Have you reconciled with Dad[00:01:46]
Does the rain still make you sad[00:01:49]
Last night I swear I could feel you[00:01:53]
Moving through my room[00:01:56]
And I thought you touched my feet[00:02:00]
I so wanted it to be true[00:02:03]
In my theater there is a stage[00:02:07]
And a footlight you can always step into[00:02:11]
I'll wait no more for you like a daughter[00:02:17]
That part of our life together is over[00:02:25]
But I will wait for you forever[00:02:32]
Like a river[00:02:40]
In the river I know I will find the key[00:03:11]
And your voice will rise like the spray[00:03:14]
In the moment of knowing[00:03:18]
The tide will wash away my doubt[00:03:20]
'Cause you're already home[00:03:25]
Making it nice for when I come home[00:03:29]
Like the way I find my bed turned down[00:03:33]
Coming in from a late night out[00:03:38]
Please keep reminding me[00:03:41]
Of what in my soul I know is true[00:03:44]
Come in my boat there's a seat beside me[00:03:48]
And two or three stars we can gaze into[00:03:53]
I'll wait no more for you like a daughter[00:03:59]
That part of our life together is over[00:04:07]
But I will wait for you forever[00:04:14]
Like a river[00:04:27]
I'll never leave always just a dream away[00:04:36]
A star that's always watching[00:04:48]
Never turn away[00:04:53]
We'll never leave always just a thought away[00:04:57]
A candle always burning[00:05:08]
Never turn away[00:05:13]
The moon will hide the tree will bend[00:05:18]
I'm in the way[00:05:28]
In the tree[00:05:31]
Will bend[00:05:35]
I'm right beside you[00:05:40]
I'm right beside you[00:05:42]
I'm right beside you[00:05:44]
I'll never turn away[00:05:48]
