Blue mountain river, if only for a while
Take me to the river, lay down by your side
The world is full of madness and I find it hard to smile
Take me where you're going and I'll be right by your side
Blue mountain river, comfort me a while
I'll follow down the river, follow you till night
I hasten to your whispers, you dance in time to mine
We'll stay awake together watching the silver in the sky
Blue mountain river, I want to rest a while
You're changing my reflection and the seasons in my mind
Let these days go on forever, I'll leave in my own time
Take me where you're going and I'll be right by your side
Blue mountain river, I went there for a while
I listened for an answer and I found it deep inside
When I'm lost behind the shadows and I want to run and hide
My blue mountain river is there right by my side
