[Verse 1:]
What i love most about rivers is
You can't step in the same river twice
The water's always changing, always flowing
But people, i guess, can't live like that
We all must pay a price
To be safe, we lose our chance of ever knowing
What's around the riverbend
Waiting just around the riverbend.

[Chorus:]
I look once more
Just around the riverbend
Beyond the sh*r*
Where the gulls fly free
I don't know what for
What i dream the day might send
Jut around the riverbend
For me (for me), for me (for me)
Coming for me (for me), for me (for me).

[Verse 2:]
I feel it there beyond those trees
Or right behind these waterfalls
Can i ignore that sound of distant drumming?
For a handsome, st*rdy husband
Who builds handsome, st*rdy walls
And never dreams that something might be coming?
Just around the riverbend
Waiting just around the riverbend.

[Chorus:]
I look once more
(i look once more)
Just around the riverbend
Beyond the sh*r*
(beyond the sh*r*)
Somewhere past the sea
I don't know what for
(i do know what for, what do i do just beyond the sh*r*?)
Why do all my dreams extend
Just around the riverbend?

[Verse 3:]
Should i choose the smoothest curve
Steady as a beating drum?
Should i, should i, should i marry on?
(so, am i dreaming at an end?)
Oh, do you still wait for me, dream giver?
Do you still wait for me, dream giver?
Do you still wait for me, dream giver?
Just around the riverbend
Oh, do you still wait for me, dream giver?
Do you still wait for me, dream giver?
Do you still wait for me, dream giver?
(just around the riverbend)

[Chorus:]
I look once more
(i look once more)
Just around the riverbend
Beyond the sh*r*
(beyond the sh*r*)
Somewhere past the sea
I don't know what for
(i don't know what for, what do i do just beyond the sh*r*?)
Why do all my dreams extend
Just around the riverbend?
For me (for me), for me (for me)
Coming for me (for me), for me (for me).

Ooo-oo-ooo
Ooo-ooo
