Lyrics

Strange how the river smiles
Laughing in my face, won't you follow
And I will have to leave, leave behind my friend who is sleeping
And I will always remember
The finest day of the finest life
You know it can't last forever
The finest day of the finest life

I must go to where the rivers flow
Take the rudder, sail the morning tide
I must go to where the rivers flow
Please forgive me

Hear the seagulls cry
Fall into their song
The river bends
The ocean air is rising

I will always remember
The finest day of the finest life
You know it can't last forever
You got it wrong
You got it wrong
I must go to where the rivers flow
High
Please forgive me

Strange how the ocean smiles
Well, maybe it's just a trick of the light
