The River Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh, the waters flow
Over rock and stone
O'er the waters blow
Windy wind so cold
Oh, the rivers flow so old
Oh, the rivers flow so old
O'er the rivers fly
Stately kingfishers
Through the waters swim
Stickleback fishes
Oh, the rivers flow so old
Oh, the rivers flow so old
Oh, the waters flow
Over rock and stone
Through the waters swim
Stickleback fishes
Oh, the rivers flow so old
Through the rivers swim so old
Oh, the rivers flow so old
Ooh
