Preacher Boy - The River Wild

I hear the hummingbirds hum
Chasing each other
I hear an old snare drum
In the rhythm of the water
And the banks are steep
And the river is shallow
Black poplar shadow
Long-hanging shade
And we come for peace
Aor our child
For to sleep
By the river wild

I see the butterfly fly
By the baby gray alder
And the wind's gettin' high
And choppin' up the water
And there is no fork
And nothin' to follow
I see the tail of a swallow
Backlit by the light
And we come for peace
For our child
For to sleep
By the river wild

I see the bumblebee land on
The bird's foot flower
Too heavy to stand on
The slender tower
And the tumblin' cold
Down from december
I will always remember
Bein' here with you
And we come for peace
For our child
For to sleep
By the river wild
