The Great Rivers

Rain came down, 12:01
 New Year's Eve in Old London
 I could only stand there weeping
 On the mighty Thames
 Alone and in love and fully alive
 The first time in a lifetime
 And all those people just floating on the water
 Like a midnight gem
 But will you go with me
 Bittersweetly, skipping like a stone?
 The great rivers
 All the great rivers, I've already walked along alone
 And it's an upstream journey to you
 Despite the sleight of hand the cold winds blew
 The false direction laid atop
 The current underneath
 But I can forgive nearly anything
 That ends on Autumn's tracks to spring
 Followed you in dreams out
 To that Mississippi beach
 So will you go with me
 Bittersweetly, skipping like a stone?
 The great rivers
 All the great rivers, I've already walked along alone
 It's not that you should stay the night
 It's just that you belong
 It's not that I'm trying to make things right
 I'm just so tired of being wrong
 So will you go with me
 Bittersweet, heedless
 Skipping like a stone?
