Subject: Lyr Add: TIDE AND THE RIVER RISING (Cindy Kallet)
Cindy has a songbook out; I'm guessing that one is in it. You can hear an mp3 of part of the song (enough to learn the tune) at Timberhead Music.

TIDE AND THE RIVER RISING Words & Music by Cindy Kallet (c)1989 Stone's Throw Music, BMI
Chorus: Come on get your oars and row, darling Come on get your oars and row We've got tide and the river rising Come on get your oars and row
Come up on your feet and walk, my baby Rise up on your feet and walk We've got arms reaching out to catch you Haul up on those feet and walk
In the morning call my name, my darling In the morning call my name We grow old, young; we birth, we die And somehow rearrange
Some live and change the world with grace And a vision and a strength of mind Some rise from trouble, some lend a hand And some keep trying to find
Watch that little boy go walking, my lover Watch him as he learns to run Watch him as he rounds the corner out of sight Then tumbling back into our arms he comes
When it's time to say goodbye, my darling When it's time to say goodbye We'll live on in the old and the young ones Dreaming down a quiet line
