Where the river runs deep on the banks of this town There's a place that nobody knows I'll never speak of this place that I've found I'll never tell a soul Where I'd watch the stars slowly disappear And the eastern wind blowing by my ears These sacred grounds that I hold so dear I love being here Everyday I would wonder towards the sound of the water Along the trail, through the field I feel the ghost of you there and all who've been before me Worn paths, old lives reveal Where I'd watch the stars slowly disappear And the eastern wind blowing by my ears These sacred grounds that I hold so dear I love being here The years have gone by, but my special space remains A new story to take place When I've seen the best of days and my life has come to pass I'll lay down by my stone To watch the stars slowly disappear And the eastern wind blowing by my ears These sacred grounds that I hold so dear To watch the stars slowly disappear And the eastern wind blowing by my ears These sacred grounds that I hold so dear I love being here At my sacred ground
