Big River
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.
Wind at my back
Face in the Sun
All my big ideas done
Big river, rollin'
Listen to a sea shell
You can hear the sea
Listen to a beer glass
That river belongs to me
Big river, rollin'
There's a river runs here
When it rains we flood
Co-op city first three floors
Of charles river mud
Big river, rollin'
Oh, yeah
Big river, rollin'
Oh, yeah
Land's edge
Where the east begins
The debris meets the sea
When the tide comes in
Oh, look out
Look both ways now
Big river, rollin'
Oh, yeah
Big river, rollin'
Oh, yeah
Big river, big river
Oh, yeah
