I seemed to know right from the start where I was goin' and how far Like the river as she flows I just always seemed to know
But you were born beneath the restlesss moon your heart still sings a wonderin' tune Like the wind you cannot be bound walls would only tie you down
For awhile we travelled in the same directions But parted before the journey's end I stayed within my boundaries you sailed toward open skies Like the river and the wind like the river and the wind
I always flowed between the lines you followed roads that had no signs The river knows where she belongs yeah the wind he never finds a home
For awhile we travelled in the same directions...
