Letra Moonchild river song Eric Andersen

Moonchild river song

Take the quiet like a river, like the silver streams that sing for you.
Love will make it better and I'm sorry that you saw me blue.
I'll tell you of the sunrise on a Texas plain so long ago.
I looked into your sad eyes and I couldn't say I loved you, so.

But I love you like the mountains, I love you like the sea.
I love you like this highway, that always comes for me.
I love you like the forest, the quiet of the trees,
I love you darling, like a river now that runs deep in me.

Oh, lonesome in a valley long ago you said you had a home,
Your lover, he went his way, now love has finally come and gone;
But love must find the answer in the Good Book, that's what I read.
Soon the moon will rise in Cancer, so stay and gently make my bed.

For I love you like the mountains, I love you like the sea;
I love you like this highway, that always come from me.
I love you like the ocean, the quiet of the breeze,
I love you, darling, like a river now that runs deep in me.

After we have waited and that old highway won't steal my song.
Together we'll lie naked, together we will catch the dawn.
You will see my devils, I will see your darkness, too,
And when the light has settled, I will sing this song to you.

(Repeat 1st verse)
