Lyrics Natalie Merchant

Natalie Merchant

Where I Go

Climbing under

A barbed wire fence

By the railroad ties

Climbing over

The old stone wall

I'm bound for the riverside

Well, I go over to the river

To soothe my mind

To ponder over

The crazy days of my life

Just sit and watch the river flow

Find a place

On the riverbank

Where the green rushes grow

See the wind

In the willow tree

In the branches hanging low

Well, I go to the river

To soothe my mind

To ponder over

The crazy days of my life

Watch the river flow

Ease my mind and soul

Where I go

Well I will go to the river

From time to time

Wander over

These crazy days in my mind

Watch the river flow

Where the willow branches grow

By the cool rolling waters

Moving gracefully and slow

O, child it's lovely

Let the river take it all away

The mad pace and the hurry

The troubles and the worries

Just let the river take them all away

Flow away
