Cycle Song of Life (The River Song) 4-16-6

The river casts her murky eyes toward heaven, But never stops to doubt That she must roll out to the sea. And the secret of what takes her to her silence Goes with her to her death beyond eternity.

And the river just keeps flowin’ on and on. The sun keeps goin’ ‘round to bring the dawn. And life just keeps on goin’ ‘Til it looks as though it’s gone, But it really just keeps flowin’ on and on.

Just when it seems the night will last forever, The sun appears to kiss awake the darkness into day. And though his life is short, he makes the journey And knows deep in his heart that there’s no other way.

And the river just keeps flowin’ on and on. The sun keeps goin’ ‘round to bring the dawn. And life just keeps on goin’ ‘Til it looks as though it’s gone, But it really just keeps flowin’ on and on.

To understand the laughter of the springtime, You have to see the summer melt away into the fall. But ‘til you’ve known the endless sleep of winter, You’ll never hear the cycle song of life at all.

And the river just keeps flowin’ on and on. The sun keeps goin’ ‘round to bring the dawn. And life just keeps on goin’ ‘Til it looks as though it’s gone, But it really just keeps flowin’ on and on.

And the river just keeps flowin’ on and on. The sun keeps goin’ ‘round to bring the dawn. And life just keeps on goin’ ‘Til it looks as though it’s gone, But it really just keeps flowin’ on and on.
