The River Stone A-Glistening

Rippling, rippling Like a river flows Like a river stone Ricocheting, ricocheting Like a ball goes Time stands on its own That’s how it goes That’s how it goes... Oooh ohhh oooh Oooh ohhh oooh That’s how it goes That’s how it goes We’re rippling, rippling Like a river flows, all alone We’re diving, diving Into the abyss unknown Unknown... It’s shown in your eyes That you’ve moved on on your own The eyes tell no lies So, tell me the truth — we’re not alone Rippling, rippling Like a river flows Like a river stone Ricocheting, ricocheting Like a ball goes Time stands on its own That’s how it goes That’s how it goes... Oooh ohhh oooh Oooh ohhh oooh That’s how it goes That’s how it goes We’re rippling, rippling Like a river flows, all alone We’re diving, diving Into the abyss unknown Unknown... The wind blows upon her hair The sun glows away her despair She’s the black beauty of the deep... We follow her like sheep...like lost sheep Rippling, rippling Like a river flows Like a river stone Ricocheting, ricocheting Like a ball goes Time stands on its own That’s how it goes That’s how it goes... Oooh ohhh oooh Oooh ohhh oooh That’s how it goes That’s how it goes We’re rippling, rippling Like a river flows, all alone We’re diving, diving Into the abyss unknown Unknown... You just knew too much about me While I talked to you on the cellphone You told me, held captive, that I’ll be set free Instead, I’m on my own, on my own, but God’s my backbone Rippling, rippling Like a river flows Like a river stone Ricocheting, ricocheting Like a ball goes Time stands on its own That’s how it goes That’s how it goes... Oooh ohhh oooh Oooh ohhh oooh That’s how it goes That’s how it goes We’re rippling, rippling Like a river flows, all alone We’re diving, diving Into the abyss unknown Unknown... We’ll listen to the clouds a-sway We’re going to glisten during the day We’re drifting As we’re lifting We’re ricocheting, ricocheting Like a ball goes, round and round and round it goes We’re swaying, swaying, praying, praying For a free-fall of our own while the sun surely glows The sun’s been aglow and I know It’s been a-glistening and you know That we’re rippling away day by day We’re ricocheting like a stone at bay
