River Pt Ii:Memory

I remember,I remember when the river flowed, 
I remember,I recall when my soul floated, 
With every flow, 

Don't fall,remember the river, 
Don't drown,remember it flowed,
Don't die,remember it cleansed, 

Flow me away river,gently down your path,
Gently down your stream,
Numb the poison that sinks with every flow,

I remember,I remember when the flowers withered, 
Flow away this winter,this winter that withers,
With every flow,

I remember the boat,my boat in that winter,
Rickety boat,Rickety by that winter,
But I remember,I remember the river flowed,

Don't fall,remember the river,
Don't drown,remember it flowed,
Don't die,remember it cleansed,

River, 'O' river you manned the station,
Guiding the boat gently through,
Numbing the poison brought by that winter,

For I remember,I remember when you flowed,
I remember,I recall when you floated my soul,
With every flow,you saved,from the poison,from that winter,

I shall not fall from the boat,you flow,
I shall not drown, you float,
I shall not die,you save,

I remember,I remember when you flowed, 
I remember,I recall when I floated,
With every flow you saved me from the poison and that winter.
