Behla Hutchinson - River Lyrics

The river has burst her banks again
Destroyed all that you build
She'll swell and retreat, all in her own time
And settle once more for a while

Known by the same name, from the same source
Her path's always changing, she runs
Known by the same name, from the same source
But her path's always changing, she runs
A different course

First you cry tears my dear
Grieve all that you lost
But soon you'll plant seeds again
In the rich aftermath

Known by the same name, from the same source
Her path's always changing, she runs
Known by the same name, from the same source
But her path's always changing, she runs
A different course

Spring brings the echos of that dreary day
But the sweet sound of birdsong drowns out the rain
Wind like time blows fast and strong
And memories are written all over again

Known by the same name, from the same source
Her path's always changing, she runs
Known by the same name, from the same source
But her path's always changing, she runs
A different course

You recount the tale, the adventure, the fun
The bitterness, heartache, the sadness is gone
Your children in time will know her banks too
She'll take and she'll give like she did to you

Known by the same name, from the same source
Her path's always changing, she runs
Known by the same name, from the same source
But her path's always changing, she runs
A different course
