Lyrics
[Verse 1] You taught the tide to count in blue With pebbles skipping two by two A paper boat beneath the bridge Chased every current to the ridge [Pre-Chorus] And all the maps we thought we knew Turned into paths that led to you [Chorus] Run, little river, run Carry the weight of the turning sun Past every bend, past everyone You’re not lost, you’re becoming one Run, little river, run Silver and wild till the day is done I’ll keep my hands to the open air And follow the water anywhere [Verse 2] A heron lifted from the reeds Like a quiet answer to our needs The hillside opened, wide and green A thousand shades i’d never seen [Pre-Chorus] No finish line, no fixed design Just every distant curve in time [Chorus] Run, little river, run Carry the weight of the turning sun Past every bend, past everyone You’re not lost, you’re becoming one Run, little river, run Silver and wild till the day is done I’ll keep my hands to the open air And follow the water anywhere [Bridge] If the mountains change your name If the valley pulls your frame Let the stones beneath you sing There is motion in everything [Final chorus] Run, little river, run Carry the weight of the turning sun Past every bend, past everyone You’re not lost, you’re becoming one Run, little river, run Silver and wild till the day is done I’ll keep my hands to the open air And follow the water anywhere [Outro] Anywhere, anywhere Follow the water anywhere
