I walk to the river
Waiting to hear the water sing
I sit down beside her
Trying to hear the quiet ring
The leaves break the falling
Of the sunlight that covers these banks
I've seen the water running
I've seen the color wash away
I come to the river
Heavy and tired to the bone
I lay down beside her
Grave as a slowly sinking stone
I see clear to the bottom
I watch how the shadows play
I've seen the water falling
I've seen the colors bleed away
The light turns silver
Draining the hours from the day
The weight of the water pulls at the branches along the banks
And it tears at the fallen and it carries the broken on its way
I've seen the water rolling
I've seen the colors fade away
I've seen the water rolling
I've seen the colors fade away
Eu ando para o rio
À espera de ouvir o cantar da água
Sento-me ao lado dela
Tentando ouvir o silencioso toque
As folhas quebram a queda
Da luz solar que cobre estes bancos
Eu vi a água a correr
Eu vi a cor a lavar
Eu venho para o rio
Pesado e cansado até os ossos
Deitei-me ao lado dela
Sepultada como uma pedra afundando lentamente
Eu vejo claramente o fundo
Eu vejo como as sombras brincam
Eu vi a água a cair
Eu vi as cores a sangrar
A luz se torna prata
Drenando as horas do dia
O peso da água puxa os ramos ao longo das margens
E rasga nos ramos caídos e carrega os ramos quebrados em seu caminho
Eu vi a água a rolar
Eu vi as cores a desaparecer
Eu vi a água a rolar
Eu vi as cores a desaparecer
