Karaoke Track: Like A River by Carly Simon (Pocket Songs) - Karaoke Nerds

Dear Mother
The struggle is

Over, now

We divided your
Railroad watches

Among the four
Of us

I fought over
The pearls

With the other girls

But it was all
A metaphor

For what is
Wrong with us

As the room is
Emptying out

Your face so young
Comes into view

And on the
Back porch is a

Well-worn step

And a pool of
Light that you can

Walk into...

I'll wait no more
Foryou

Like a daughter

That part of our
Life together

Is over

But I will
Wait for you

Forever
Like a river ........

Can you clear up,
The mystery,

0f the Sphinx?

Are you dancing with,
Benjamin Franklin,

On the face
Of the moon?

Have you reconciled,
With Dad?

Does the rain still,
Make you sad?

Last night
I swear I could

Feel you moving
Through my room

And I thought you
Touched my feet

I so wanted it
To be true

And in my theater
There is a stage

And a footlight

I'll wait no more
Foryou

Like a daughter

That part of our
Life together

Is over

But I will
Wait for you

Forever
Like a river

In the river
I know I will

Find the key
And your voice

Will rise like spray
In the moment

0f knowing

The tide will
Wash away my doubt

Cause you're
Already home

Like the way I'd
Find my bed

Turned down

Reminding me
Of what in

My soul I know
Is true

I'll wait no more
Foryou

Like a daughter

That part of our
Life together

Is over

But I will
Wait for you

Forever
Like a river...
