Jorma Kaukonen - River of Time
A river of time, it marks our lifeFrom birth to death, there is no rhyme
A chance to meet, along the way
Will we go or, will we stay?
There is no sound of, tolling bells
The task on earth is living well
I dreamt my grandma, held my hand
Felt the stranger, in this land
Her ancient voice called, out to me
And have your choices, plain to see
It?s time to move on, down the line
All you floatin? in a river of time
The banks were shrouded, in the fog
From the shore, a barkin? dog
Recalled a time, long forgot
The flowers there, Forget-Me-Nots
I saw a wave from, friends of mine
As I rowed down the river of time
It might be nice I, could have said
To speak to loved ones, long since dead
Lives still flow there, on the shore
And I shan?t see them, anymore
Not on this side, but in dreams
And dreams aren?t always what they seem
The river flows, it?s just begun
My daughter follows, and my son
When my time ends, I?ll rest on land
And while I slumber, they?ll still stand
They?re a part of that endless line
We all still float in a river of time
As I float through, another day
There are no waves to, rock my way
Water lifts, my spirits high
And in this moment, you and I
Feel the current, flow so fine
As we float down a river of time
