TELL YOUR RIVERS / © 1972 Todd Bradshaw
From the One More Night Like This CD

Now there was a time of year that came to stay
When the woman in my life had to go away
When the morning rain was cold like the pain she hid
And to wander in the hills was all I did

Are you lookin’ for the sun, or are you waiting for the moon to fall?
Are you lookin’ for the sun, or have you lost it all?

Now there came a time of life when I grew weak
With the words I held inside, but could not speak
Now the woodlands knew me well, and they were mine to know
And the time just passed me by with the river’s flow

Are you lookin’ for the sun, or are you waiting for the moon to fall?
Are you lookin’ for the sun, or have you lost it all?

Tell your rivers keep on flowing
Tell your forests keep on growing
Till you find a way

Are you lookin’ for the sun, or are you waiting for the moon to fall?
Are you lookin’ for the sun, or have you lost it all?

Tell your rivers keep on flowing
Tell your mountains keep on rolling
Till you find a way

Now there cam a time of man when I grew old
When the rivers ceased to flow from a winter’s cold
And a ragged, frozen man who’d lived a lonely, shattered life of jokes and lies
Stands silent by a river, testimony to the life of which he’d died

Are you lookin’ for the sun, or are you waiting for the moon to fall?
Are you lookin’ for the sun, or have you lost it all?

Tell your rivers keep on flowing
Tell your forests keep on growing
Tell your rivers keep on flowing
Tell your mountains keep on rolling
Till you find a way
