If you're ever sitting where the rushes grow Or you catch a red rose bloom Or if you're ever standing where a raging river flows And you feel yourself a lonesome tune That's right it's me again Right by your side And you can yell out through the wind "She's mine" And 'tho the wind might wail it will not cry It will say "She always was and so am I"
I never was to Africa 'tho it comes up in my dreams And we never got our hearts in tune If time is what it seems But maybe when you're with someone who you understand And you tell them "I love you" Well maybe I'll be with someone and I'll take their hand And I'll say "I love you too"
And if I'm ever where the rushes grow Or I catch a red rose bloom Or if I'm ever standing where a raging river flows And I feel myself a lonesome tune I'll know it's you again right by my side And I'll yell out through the wind "She's mine" And while the wind might wail it will not cry It will say "She always was and so am I".
