Flowing Rivers

The stage is set another show must go on

The spotlight's burnin' down into my face

The drummers sits up high upon this rostrum

Guitarists play each other face to face

And when it's over, I'll stop and wonder

And never understand

'Cause leavin' this was never in my plans

And when I'm playin' all I see is things you'll never find

Flowing rivers passin' through my mind

Deceivin' and receivin' was my pastime

To every girl who liked my written lines

They'd think that any moment I'd be their guy

But cryin' never justified my lies, oh no

And next time round will be the same

They never understand that hurtin' them was never in my plans

Ay, my songs will flow like passin' clouds, something in each line

Flowing rivers passin' through my mind

I've got to go, I've finished what I came for

Playin' every city, state to state

Singin' every town that learned to like me

Modest payments paid for what I ate

Ah, you're standin' there, tears in your eyes

You once called me a man

And lovin' you was never in my plans

Ay, yeah, we'll go together, you and I, till we both find

Flowing rivers passin' through my mind

Yeah, and we'll go together, you and I, till we both find

Flowing rivers passin' through my mind, hoo, ooh, hoo
