1
I'm going to find me a dying river
2
And strike a deal with her, I'll say
3
"I'll fold you in two and I'll carry you away
4
To a place where your headwaters will flow
5
Clean through to your mouth"
6
In return I'll request a small sanctuary
7
By her banks where we will live
8
With our small family, she will water our garden
9
And clean the dirt from our skin
10
While the word clamors at our door
11
We will dance and not let them in
12
And if one day we wake up to a bed dry as a bone
13
Find our river stolen, find our sanctuary gone
14
We will stand and take stock and be grateful
15
For what we've not lost
16
We will pack up our bags, pack our small family
17
Head across the valley to where the aspen trees
18
Shiver as they ascend, the green hills rising to blue
19
At the edge of the shopping we will turn
20
And bid fond and auml;dieu
21
All that I know to be true
22
Is the touch of your hand on my skin
23
One look from you can so easily soothe
24
All this turmoil within
25
As we dance cheek to cheek
26
With our feet so completely
27
Locked in a time all our own
28
I stop to speak
29
But you gently keep me
30
Moving in time to the song
31
And in a voice that is sloppy with gin
32
You say, "Let the world spin"
33
I'm going to find me a dying river
34
And strike a deal with her I'll say
35
And Iuml; I'll fold you in two and I'll carry you away
36
To place where your headwaters will flow
37
Clean through to your mouth
38
In return I'll request a small sanctuary
39
By her banks where we will live
40
With our small family, she will water our garden
41
And clean the dirt from our skin
42
While the world clamors at our door
43
We will dance and not let them in
