Linda Perhacs - Call Of The River

Come away (come away)
And follow me

She will call you
From the winding

Come away (come away)
And follow me

She will call you
Reminding

Come feel along your side
The long cool touch
Of current
Like a far remembered life

Come quicken to the now you hear
Cutting off from closer years
Bounding into heavy pouring sounds

Come quick into the icy sting
Sharpening to everything
Pounding boundaries

Come away (come away)
And follow me

On a winding
To the sea

Come away (come away)
And follow me

Unwinding
To be free

And the call of the river
A man will answer
Cause he's thirsty
For a far remembered life

Of pulsing to a larger rhythm
Feeling things that now lie hidden
Clean and cold within
The liquid taste of leaf and rock
The timing to a slower clock
Yearning for dampened
Musty wood

Come away (come away)
And follow me

She will call you
She knows

Come away (come away)
And follow me

Come taste this life
And grow
