Lyrics[]
What I love most about rivers is:
You can't step in the same river twice
The water's always changing, always flowing
But people, I guess, can't live like that
We all must pay a price
To be safe, we lose our chance of ever knowing
What's around the riverbend
Waiting Like a Wonder Dream
I look once more
Like a Wonder Dream
Beyond the shore
Where the gulls fly free
Don't know what for
What I dream the day might send
Like a Wonder Dream
For me
Coming for me
I feel it there beyond those trees
Or right behind these waterfalls
Can I ignore that sound of distant drumming
For a handsome sturdy husband
Who builds handsome sturdy walls
And never dreams that something might be coming?
Like a Wonder Dream
Like a Wonder Dream
I look once more
Like a Wonder Dream
Beyond the shore
Somewhere past the sea
Don't know what for...
Why do all my dreams extend
Like a Wonder Dream?
Like a Wonder Dream...
Should I choose the smoothest course
Steady as the beating drum?
Should I marry Woolfy?
Is all my dreaming at an end?
Or do you still wait for me, Dream Giver
Like a Wonder Dream?
Is there nothing I can do?
Will this really be the end?
Is it only death that waits
Like a Wonder Dream?
