about

As we wondered how to sequence the songs on the Suburbon Road CD, we knew this would be the last track. Indeed - rivers flow just like they know what's at the end.

lyrics

Oh I wonder. Feel the thunder. Hear the storm.
And all the changes life rearranges, and hearts get torn.
And all the time it takes to find a way to mend.
Rivers flow just like they know what’s at the end.

There comes a time you must decide to take a chance.
Afraid of trying, losing, crying; a lonely (an only) dance.
You could get lost, too high a cost, without a friend.
But rivers flow just like they know what’s at the end.

What you’ve given me, and what I’ve taken,
witness seasons come and go.
Sometimes living free and sometimes quite mistaken,
it’s not the reaching, it’s the journey to (reaching for) the goal.

Our rivers ran together, our layered rivers, running, rapids, whirlpools. Emotions ran untethered, like layered rivers, running, rapids, whirlpools. Our spirits ran together, as layered rivers, running, rapids.
Sometimes flood-stage tributaries branching off.

Times and seasons, and history, you start to mend.
You find some reasons in long journeys. Time is a friend.
You feel that you will never lose your way again,
‘cause rivers flow just like they know what’s at the end.
