lyrics

I met her by the riverside
She gave to me a wheelchair smile
Basking in the February sun
As if the past and winter both were gone
I was into counting and to sums
And things that needed to be done
And things I didn’t need to know
Down where the rivers flow

She told me of the people she had known
Friends and lovers now long gone
Children after children who had flown
Along life’s open road
She told me of the splendours she had seen
The darker moments in between
And how none of us is what we might have been
Down where the river flowed

The poets and the artists who were here
The writers and the philosophers
Their words may remain or disappear
And no-one, no-one ever really knows
I came back with the first October wind
The wheelchair lying by the bend
And gentle laughter echoing
Down where the river flows
