Her love is like a Minnesota river, Still only on the surface, and only in the winter My love is like a maple on the shore That waits to be fed by your waters and constantly wants more I don't need to tell you where or know whee you go, You're gonna do what you do and be beautiful so, Don't let me stop you, Just flow river, flow I know it's impossible to keep you dammed, Your waters will swell to keep moving and I'll lose your hand See you're made of water and slippery after all But you're always there on the landing and soft when I fall I wanna grow into your deltas, shade your shores, give you love, My leaves fall in your waters, you surround and give the best hugs I could never stop you, and I won't try any more, I'm just a maple in the autumn waiting to wade into your shore I'd kid myself thinking you're not a different river every day, But at least I always get a new you before I have to let you flow away But in a tiny little puddle in my roots you'll be remembered for a while I know that I'm not as tall as I want yet, and you're not nearly the Nile But still you'll flow to different places and I'll stay here the same I'll always see you shining in the current and hope to feel you in the rain Her love is like a Minnesota river Still only on the surface, and only in the winter My love is like a maple on the shore That waits to be fed by your waters and constantly wants more I don't need to tell you where or know where you go, You're gonna do what you do and be beautiful so, Don't let me stop you, Just flow river, flow

You help me grow, I don't help you do anything
Her love is like a Minnesota river, Still only on the surface, and only in the winter My love is like a maple on the shore That waits to be fed by your waters and constantly wants more I don't need to tell you where or know whee you go, You're gonna do what you do and be beautiful so, Don't let me stop you, Just flow river, flow I know it's impossible to keep you dammed, Your waters will swell to keep moving and I'll lose your hand See you're made of water and slippery after all But you're always there on the landing and soft when I fall I wanna grow into your deltas, shade your shores, give you love, My leaves fall in your waters, you surround and give the best hugs I could never stop you, and I won't try any more, I'm just a maple in the autumn waiting to wade into your shore I'd kid myself thinking you're not a different river every day, But at least I always get a new you before I have to let you flow away But in a tiny little puddle in my roots you'll be remembered for a while I know that I'm not as tall as I want yet, and you're not nearly the Nile But still you'll flow to different places and I'll stay here the same I'll always see you shining in the current and hope to feel you in the rain Her love is like a Minnesota river Still only on the surface, and only in the winter My love is like a maple on the shore That waits to be fed by your waters and constantly wants more I don't need to tell you where or know where you go, You're gonna do what you do and be beautiful so, Don't let me stop you, Just flow river, flow
