Black river
Black river
Black river

The story's still unfolding 
And like the river rolling
It's always 
Moving like a tide
Seemingly unchanging
But of course nothing 
Stays the same 
You'll see

Black river
Black river
Black river

And if I scratch the surface 
And try to look to learn it
Oh 
What fantastic worlds 
I'll find
Stay with me forever
Buried deep inside my mind 
You'll see

Sha, la, la, la, la
I'm casting out my line
Although it's floating by
Who knows what I'll find 
We'll see

It's early in the morning 
I watched a raindrop falling
So slim and tender from a leaf
It stays with me forever
Buried deep inside of me
You'll see

Black river
Black river
Black river

Black river
Black river
Black river
You drifter
