Where I Go

Natalie Merchant


Climbing under a barbed wire fence by the railroad ties
Climbing over the old stone wall, I am bound for the river side
Well I go to the river to soothe my mind
Ponder over these crazy days of my life
Just sit and watch the river flow

Instrumental

Find a place on the river bank where the green rushes grow
See the wind in the willow tree in branches hanging low
Well I go to the river to soothe my mind
To ponder over these crazy days in my life
Watch the river flow. Ease my mind and soul.    Where I go

Instrumental

Well I will go to the river from time to time
Wander over these crazy days in my mind
Watch the river flow where the willow branches grow
by the cool rolling waters moving gracefully and slow

Ooh child, it’s love, it’s lovely
Let the river take it all away
The mad pace, the hurry, the hurry
The troubles, the worries, the worries
Just let the river take them all away

Flow away, flow away
