lyrics

Put your paddle into the water
Make the canoe float along
Put the paddle in again
The river whispers like a song
Look at all the life here
If you’re quiet they’ll be there
Deer on the bank, heron in the shallows
Fish and frogs rise from their lair

Refrain: Flow like a river
Watch it go by
Flowing right through my life
Till the stars tell me goodbye

If we’re floating far enough
On the left a cottage lies
Where they come and spend the sunsets
Watch the river ‘neath fiery skies
The closer we get to the lakefront
The more boats there will be
Fishermen vieing with the gulls
For the catch of the day

(Refrain)

Not far, there is a river
Has a concrete bed to hold it
I’m sure that someone knows just why
But there’s nothing natural to it
The Cuyahoga burned once
Other streams are almost dead
We deserve the mess we make
But can’t we have rivers instead?

(refrain)
