Lyrics

We met each night beside the river as the
Autumn skies were growing cold
I still can feel a young girl shiver as the
Lights grow dim and we grow old

We had no names for what we were
Just river sounds behind the leaves
Funny how a lifetime weaves

Out on that pier we were learning how to
Bend like limbs of trembling trees
Inside we knew a love was growing though the
Snows would come and rivers freeze

We had no names for what we were
Just river sounds behind the leaves
Funny how a lifetime weaves

When leaves come down
Those evenings stir
The river sounds
Behind the leaves
Funny how a lifetime weaves

Now evenings merge with shadows shifting as the
Autumn leaves resume their flight
Across the river, two spirits drifting on the
Tides that rise again tonight

We had no names for what we were
Just river sounds behind the leaves
Funny how a lifetime weaves
Funny how a lifetime weaves
