Like The River

 C                        F    
They're floating downstream like 
        C
swans in the sun
G             F           C
Surrounded by friends and lovers
   C                      F       
We watched on with smiles beaming 
   C
so bright
F          G              F     
The river behind them, the 
    C
fading daylight
 G                   F            
I knew her back from when she was 
C
young
C                     F           
Those days poured out faster than 
G
rounds from a gun
G                         F      
Scattered like shells and lost to
     C
 the sea
C                   F      
Like the river, the days move 
   G
rapidly

  C                          F    
I have all these memories, I don't
           C
 know what for
  G             F       C
I have them and I can't help it
C                 F              
Some overflow and spill out like 
C
waves
F           G           F        
Some I will harbour for all of my 
 C
days
  G                      F        
I burned liked wood, you grew like
   C
 a flower
C                  F         G
Rising toward your magical hour
G                   F            
I was not yours and you were not 
C
mine
C             F        G
Our true love finds us when it is 
time

  C                     F          
We drove back downtown, wasted and 
C
spent
     G        F       C
Down highways that I remember
C                 F         C
Happy for her and happy for me
    F         G       F        C
The old times and the new to uncover
  G                     F         
I laid down my head, in love with 
    C
the night
C                             
With my new love beside me, her 
  F       G
radiant light
  G           F             C
I faded away, along with my thoughts
C                  F      
Like a dream and I trail off 
   G
mystically
