As the River Runs

An original song/video. (Ending sunset videos courtesy Steve Noakes) Lyrics: Can you hear it? Babbling Rushing Falling Screaming as it falls. Hitting rock, solid rock Then silence wends As the river runs Taking Taking Taking away Our yesterdays Flowing through our veins Like yesterday’s rains Awash with memories Taking yesterdays gains Lost are our moments Under swallowing clays Were they ours to stay As they washed away As the river runs Taking Taking Taking away Our yesterdays What springs In the headwaters Pure clean and cool Just aging pool, pool, pool Of love, desire and hope The river meanders As our thoughts walk Beside the water As the river runs Taking Taking Taking away Our yesterdays The banks we walked In olden days Are worn to stone Silted away The ripples trace What has been Waves of humanity No longer seen As the river runs Taking Taking Taking away Our yesterdays While there's still light Let’s remember We're only here tonight As the river runs Washing Washing Washing away The sins of yesterday While there's still light Let’s remember We're only here tonight Let’s remember We're only here tonight To --Nigh -ay-ayt
