Claire Hamill - River Song lyrics

Picking up the whispers from the seagulls Watching people creeping home River old and beautiful you listen Do you know where they come from Your currents flowing through their minds But no-one sees the centuries it takes To build the memories behind Sliding through the cities, early morning As the sun begins to wake And time has stopped to watch you gliding past To waken your youthful body naked You've watched the walls and concrete grow from bushes In the twinkling of an eye And in another twinkle you will watch them You will watch them as they die. Reflecting summer skies and hazy sunshine Playing music through the reeds A light orchestral silence greets your presence While your happiness is freed And your beauty spreads over about you through the countryside And softly greets the trees And everywhere the morning sings a chorus That is echoed by the breeze Alone and yet majestically you travel Painting pictures of the sky And catching old reflections from around you In the mirrors of your eye River in the morning snatching sunlight Weaving patterns in the day You've lived a thousand centuries and still Your beauty grows, it never fades
