CBlue Gmountain Amriver, if Gonly for a Cwhile,
CTake me Gto the Amriver, and Glay down by your Cside,
The Emworld is full of mAmadness and I Cfind it Ghard to Amsmile,
I'll Fsleep Gwithin through Amwinter and Gwait for summerCtime.
(The rest of the verses are exactly the same)
Blue mountain river, comfort me a while,
I 'll follow down the river, follow you til night
I listen to you whispers, you dance in time to mine,
We'll stay awake together watching silver in the sky.
Blue mountain river, I wanna rest a while,
You're changing my reflection and the seasons in my mind,
Let these days go on forever, I 'll leave in my own time,
Take me where you're going and I 'll be right by your side.
Blue mountain river, I went there for a while,
I listened for an answer and I found it deep inside,
When I'm lost behind the shadows and I wanna run and hide,
My blue mountain river is there right by my side.
