The Way the River Flows

Oh the northern lights are dancing in the sky
and I don't know why they make me think of you and I
swaying to the music back before we even knew
that you were gonna leave me with these
sentimental blues

I can't explain it
in poetry or prose
it's just the way, the way the river flows

Oh the southern sky is lit with moon and stars
and I don't know why I keep on wondering where you are
I'm praying to the muses that someday I will lose
these memories that take me back to
sentimental blues

I can't explain it
in poetry or prose
it's just the way, the way the river flows
it's just the way, the way the river flows

Oh the Western world is quarreling with the East
you'd think we'd learn to get along and live in peace
and I'm wishing we would choose it
but all I really wanna do
is dance around the planet with these
sentimental blues

I can't explain it
in poetry or prose
it's just the way, the way the river flows
just the way, the way the river flows
just the way, the way the river flows.
