lyrics

come dear ones gather round
this is a singing telegram
here to greet you in words and sound
it’s your great grandpa and your gram
here to take you on trip
to a simpler place and time
at the bend in the river we’ll take a dip
where the eddies whirl and twine
where the eddies whirl and twine

where the sunshine gleams like diamond lace
on the water rolling by
come join us in that gathering place
where great birds circle and glide
in spirit we will meet you there
with the elders all in tow
to hold you in a loving embrace
where the river waters flow
where the river waters flow

it’s a painting when the shifting light
if filtered through the pines
and it’s broken by the oaks and sycamores
into kaleidoscopic designs
it’s a song when the soft wind sighs
with the locusts and cicadas
an orchestra of small accordions
there to sweetly serenade us
there to sweetly serenade us

so go dear ones venture out
to whatever wild places remain
where the sun and soil and water sing
their beautiful refrain
where life is lived in the here and now
it’s always been that way
so find that river and take a swim
and you’ll remember why you came



tomorrows turn into yesterdays
with a swiftness unforeseen
and the shiny objects beckoning forth
often quickly lose their sheen
if take a moment and come up for air
and trees and water too
you’ll find that somehow it’s the old places
that leave you feeling new
leave you feeling new

so join us in that gathering place
where great birds circle and glide
and the sunlight gleams like diamond lace
on the water rolling by
in spirit we will meet you there
with the elders all in tow
to hold you in a loving embrace
where the river waters flow
where the river waters flow
