(Carly Simon)
2
Dear mother the struggle is over now
3
And your house is up for sale
4
We divided your railway watches
5
Between the four of us
6
I fought over the pearls
7
With the other girls
8
But it was all a metaphor
9
For what was wrong with us
10
As the room is emptying out
11
Your face so young comes into view
12
And on the back porch is a well-worn step
13
And a pool of light you can walk into
14
I'll wait no more for you like a daughter,
15
That part of our life together is over
16
But I will wait for you, forever
17
Like a river...
18
Can you clear up the mystery of the Sphinx?
19
Do you know any more about God?
20
Are you dancing with Benjamin Franklin
21
On the face of the moon?
22
Have you reconciled with Dad?
23
Does the rain still make you sad?
24
Last night I swear I could feel you
25
Moving through my room
26
And I thought you touched my feet
27
I so wanted it to be true
28
In my theater there is a stage
29
And a footlight you can step into...
30
I'll wait no more for you like a daughter,
31
That part of our life together is over
32
But I will wait for you, forever
33
Like a river...
34
In the river I know I will find the key
35
And your voice will rise like the spray
36
In the moment of knowing
37
The tide will wash away my doubt
38
'Cause you're already home
39
Making it nice for when I come home
40
Like the way I find my bed turned down
41
Coming in from a late night out.
42
Please keep reminding me
43
Of what in my soul I know is true
44
Come in my boat, there's a seat beside me
45
And two or three stars we can gaze into...
46
I'll wait no more for you like a daughter,
47
That part of our life together is over
48
But I will wait for you forever
49
Like a river...
50
I'll never leave, always just a dream away
51
A star that's always watching
52
Never turn away
53
We'll never leave, always just a thought away
54
A candle always burning
55
Never turn away
56
The moon will hide, the tree will bend
57
I'm right beside you
58
I'll never turn away
