She wraps me in her icy flow
and chills me 'til I'm warm
Soothes away the open space
With sand and pebbled shores
She tries to lull me downriver
Gently pulling, drowsing
Massaging the miles off me
Relaxing
I know she lies
I know she'd take me to the big river
Carrying me like an eddying breeze
But I want to lay back and dream
And slowly drift away

She wraps me in her icy flow
and chills me 'til I'm warm
Soothes away the open space
With sand and pebbled shores
She tries to lull me downriver
Gently pulling, drowsing
Massaging the miles off me
Relaxing
I know she lies
I know she'd take me to the big river
Carrying me like an eddying breeze
But I want to lay back and dream
And slowly drift away
Bright angel river, bottom of the grand canyon
