Blue mountain river, if only for a while Take me to the river, I lay down by your side The world is full of madness and I find it hard to smile I'll sleep within through winter and wait for summertime. Blue mountain river, comfort me a while I 'll follow down the river, follow you til night I listen to you whispers, you dance in time to mine We'll stay awake together watching silver in the sky. Blue mountain river, I wanna rest a while You're changing my reflection and the seasons in my mind Let these days go on forever, I 'll leave in my own time Take me where you're going and I 'll be right by your side. Blue mountain river, I went there for a while I listened for an answer and I found it deep inside When I'm lost behind the shadows and I wanna run and hide My blue mountain river is there right by my side.
