I recall a long farewell and a time to choose
So we part like rivers baby, yeah like rivers do
But I still talk about you though and wonder
How it is your life will unfold

I recall driving home, this isn't going to hit me until God knows when
You know I feel it in my bones and I wear it on my skin
But there is no use in right or wrong
When a heart must go where it belongs

Show me what it looks like
Outside your window at twilight
Is it me that you see dancing on a line,
Singing I could be yours if you would be mine
Come on grow old with me and surely you will see

I remember thinking, boy you must be dreaming
So hold on, before it's all gone
And I do remember thinking
That your world will go on spinning
Without me now

I recall a long farewell and a time to choose
So we part like rivers baby, yeah like rivers do
