Just Around the Riverbend

Just Around the Riverbend - Los Menudines

What I love most about rivers is

You can't step in the same river twice

The water's always changing always flowing

But people I guess can't live like that

They all must pay a price

To be safe we lose our chance of ever knowing

What's around the river bend

Waiting just around the river bend

I look once more just around the river bend

Beyond the shore where the gulls fly free

Don't know what for

What I dream the day might send just around the river bend

For me coming for me

I feel it there beyond those trees

Or right behind these waterfalls

Can I ignore that sound of distant drumming

For a handsome sturdy husband

Who builds handsome sturdy walls

And never dreams that something might be coming

Just around the river bend

Just around the river bend

I look once more just around the river bend

Beyond the shore somewhere past the sea

Don't know what for

Why do all my dreams extend just around the river bend

Just around the river bend

Should I choose the smoothest course steady as the beating drum

Should I marry Kocoum

Is all my dreaming at an end

Or do you still wait for me dream-giver

Just around the river bend
