Call Of The River - Linda Perhacs

She will call you

From the winding

Come away (come away)

And follow me She will call you

Reminding

Come feel along your side

The long cool touch

Of current

Like a far remembered life

Come quicken to the now you hear

Cutting off from closer years

Bounding into heavy pouring sounds

Come quick into the icy sting

Sharpening to everything

Pounding boundaries

Come away (come away)

And follow me On a winding

To the sea

Come away (come away)

And follow me Unwinding

To be free

And the call of the river

A man will answer

Cause he’s thirsty

For a far remembered life

Of pulsing to a larger rhythm

Feeling things that now lie hidden

Clean and cold within

The liquid taste of leaf and rock

The timing to a slower clock

Yearning for dampened

Musty wood

Come away (come away)

And follow me She will call you

She knows

Come away (come away)

And follow me Come taste this life

And grow
