River Go By

(Kristina Stykos)

Ever since Joni Mitchell's song California, featured "sitting in a park in Paris France", that lure of Paris has been weighing on me to be used for my own purposes. Thank-you Thomas.

Thomas, all the
streets are wet
It’s been some time
since we last met
I see us brooding
in my mind
In Paris drinking
cheap red wine
talking long into the night
thick as thieves
in the dimming light
You and I
- and love makes three
you’ve held your ground
like a rock for me

River go by river go by river go
River go by river go by river go by

heard you say
I’m no ones fool
just takes one
to break that rule
years go by
- I don’t ask much
but where the softness

of your touch
in this rain
i guess it feels all right
a frozen bell
strikes midnight
and love goes round
but awful slow
like a wagon wheel
on a muddy road

River go by river go by river go
River go by river go by river go by

Thomas, watch
the morning rise
you’ll come and go
and dry your eyes
you’ll drink your coffee
with a smoke
and fill my cup back up
with hope

River go by river go by river go
River go by river go by river go by
