Time is a river to some far away sea,
Taking us down to whatever will be;
It don’t care a thing for money or rank,
Time is a river without any banks,
Time is a river, and love is a boat;
A hole in the water that will keep you afloat;
How sweet the cup, together we drank,
Time is a river without any banks.
Time is a river, so wide and so deep,
Takes all the tears that a poor soul can weep;
So many I’ve shed, I watched as they sank down into
That deep old river without any banks.
Time is a river, reflecting the sky,
You keep looking down and it’s so very, very hard to fly;
Forever changing, for that I give thanks,
Time is a river without any banks.
