LET THE RIVER RUN FREE There's an old ship I have found It is my shelter when the rain comes falling down These lines I've earned upon my face This turning planet draws and high noon summer can't erase This I say to you my friend The letter of the law is not ours to defend The moon may have its way tonight with soldiers weary of the fight Let the river run free and in, into the sun Lest whoever may be wanting, should find a ship to sail upon Where the river and sea are the union of one Feel the wind at your back, clean and strong Look to any compass point from here The love that one man finds, ten more watch disappear The northern lights like phantoms dance The dreams dim one by one, all lost in tangled circumstance Down by this old railyard tonight The watchman passes by in dream dispersing light Hold on for one more day my friend, where love and branches never bend Let the river run free and in, into the sun Lest whoever may seek glory, will find the wind to ride upon And the truth we believe binding, is not undone There's an old place I have found It is my refuge when the darkness falls around The moon may steal across the sky, the dawn returning by and by x
