This song dedicated to my wife Elena on the occasion of our marriage (Aug 13, 2006).
(A hike in the Humber river valley (above) with my fiancé (to be wife) served as inspiration)
Riding along I see my dear/deer
River winding all the while
Feelings growing, growing near
Growing like the delta of the Nile
[Chorus]
We
Together will be
Like the river
Flows eternally
Truthfully
Beaver makes his home by the river
Building a dam and a den
I hope we live our lives like the river
Carving valleys ‘til who knows when
{Chorus}
[Bridge]
And if we lose our way
Remember the day
That the river flowed true
Remember we touched the sky
We didn’t need to wonder why
The river ran blue
River winds through our minds
Quenching our thirst for peace
Ebbing and flowing continually
Companionship released
{Chorus}
