The river flows
the river knows
Where the sunset goes where the heron goes
I rowed till the sky turned deep
I rowed till the moon touched the deep
Oh startle startle the egrets from the shore
Oh startle startle the stars to fall no more
Through the reeds we glide and soar
Through the memories I explore
The mist returns the mist burns
Where the past still yearns where the soul still turns
I chased the fading light so deep
I chased the shadows in my sleep
Oh startle startle the egrets from the shore
Oh startle startle the stars to fall no more
Through the reeds we glide and soar
Through the memories I explore
One thousand years one thousand tears
One thousand dreams drowned in ancient years
The river sighs the river cries
Beneath the same eternal skies
The river flows
the river knows
I rowed
I rowed
Where the sunset goes
Where the heron goes
