Whether laying down yourself beside it
Or slipping into its cool and rushing effects
Or drifting on it to where it broadens
Your admiration for, for its more elusive aspects

Being drawn along by it
Carried under, carried away
By its long-term membership

By the time the ice-huts hit the bottom
We were already home in bed
The most worthy men and the fiercest architects
Couldn't fight the current, they couldn't save
They couldn't save the sheds

Being drawn along by it
Carried under carried away
By its long-term membership, ah

Bring on the springtime, bring on the houseflies
Bring on the butterscotch river overspilling its banks
If you got you some withering power to amuse
You'll find its greatest frustration has its entertaining value

Being drawn along by it
Carried under, carried away
By its long-term membership, ah

Being drawn along by it
Carried under, carried away
By its long-term membership

Ah
River wide
River wondrous
