High in the mountains the sunlight is hitting the snow stillness turns to sound White becomes crystal as water's beginning to flow, man, flow seeking level ground There stands a man with a hand to his ears He is trying to learn from the water he hears And he's watching it flow, he is wanting to know what it means to him, but Maybe this time a song about a river is just about a river, would that be so strange? Water runs deep but it also runs shallow and I dig the shallows today Racing through highlands as if no tomorrow will come time goes for a ride The more that it carries the slower the water will run and run flowing deep and wide There stands a woman who can't get across She is sad at the thought of the speed it has lost And her hearts starts to stir, there is meaning for her She is sure there is, but Maybe this time a song about a river is just about a river, would that be so strange? Water runs deep but it also runs shallow And I dig the shallows today And you are a symbol, my love You symbolise yourself to me The stars are like the stars above and the ocean's like the sea I only want surfaces let me believe my eyes Finally losing identity, reaching the shore watch what happens then Water evaporates, flies to the mountains to pour and pour all begin again.

Just About a River (lyric)
High in the mountains the sunlight is hitting the snow stillness turns to sound White becomes crystal as water's beginning to flow, man, flow seeking level ground There stands a man with a hand to his ears He is trying to learn from the water he hears And he's watching it flow, he is wanting to know what it means to him, but Maybe this time a song about a river is just about a river, would that be so strange? Water runs deep but it also runs shallow and I dig the shallows today Racing through highlands as if no tomorrow will come time goes for a ride The more that it carries the slower the water will run and run flowing deep and wide There stands a woman who can't get across She is sad at the thought of the speed it has lost And her hearts starts to stir, there is meaning for her She is sure there is, but Maybe this time a song about a river is just about a river, would that be so strange? Water runs deep but it also runs shallow And I dig the shallows today And you are a symbol, my love You symbolise yourself to me The stars are like the stars above and the ocean's like the sea I only want surfaces let me believe my eyes Finally losing identity, reaching the shore watch what happens then Water evaporates, flies to the mountains to pour and pour all begin again.
