Old River - Ayla Nereo

Do you remember Old River

As you run so fast, as you run so far?

Do you remember Old River

As you run so fast, as you run right past?

Did the shores that you flew by go by in a blur

Or did you see the little children there?

On the banks as they played in the afternoon light

In the wake of your water as you did run on by…

Do you remember Old River

As you run so fast, as you run right past?

You passed by a hill so sturdy and calm

The land lit up with homes in it’s arms

The land lit up in the half-moon light

You carved out a mountain as you ran on by that night…

Do you remember Old River

As you run so fast, as you run right past?

So many things you’ve seen Old River

They didn’t go by too quickly for you to catch your sweet memories

For you to hold your moons and mountains

For you to wash the many ankles of the children

As they play and as they splash and as they tumble round and laugh

And as they skip and as they jump and as they dance and as they run on by…

Do you remember Old River

As you run so fast, as you run right past?

Now you’ll remember Old River

Remember everything, remember as you dream…
