Blue mountain river, if only for a while, Take me to the river, lay down by your side, The world is full of madness and I find it hard to smile, Take me where you're going I 'll be right by your side. Blue mountain river, comfort me a while, I 'll follow down the river, follow you til night, I listen to you whispers, you dance in time to mine, We'll stay awake together watching silver in the sky. Blue mountain river, I wanna rest a while, You're changing my reflection and the seasons in my mind, Let these days go on forever, I 'll leave in my own time, Take me where you're going and I 'll be right by your side. Blue mountain river, I went there for a while, I listened for an answer and I found it deep inside, When I'm lost behind the shadows and I wanna run and hide, My blue mountain river is there right by my side.
