I also listened to the recording on Spotify, and it seems to match. CYCLE SONG OF LIFE / THE RIVER SONG Words and Music by James Durst, ©1974 PhoeniXongs ASCAP As recorded by James Durst on "Wish I Were Here / and Other Journeys of the Heart" (2001). 1. 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 CHORUS: 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 2. 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 CHORUS 3. 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 CHORUS |
