Janis Ian - Don't Rush the River lyrics

[Janis Ian - Don't Rush the River lyrics]

I looked at the sky and asked
"Why is this valley so deep and so wide?
When I know love's waiting
Just over that mountain why can't I fly?"
And the wind replied

Don't rush the river
Let it run deep and slow
Don't rush the river
It goes where it needs to go
And in love's sweet time
You'll wake up and find
You've finally made it home
Don't rush the river just let it flow

I walked in the silence
And wondered why love takes so long to find
Then I saw the beauty that
Sprang up around me it bathed my eyеs
And my heart sighed

Don't rush the rivеr
Let it run deep and slow
Don't rush the river
It goes where it needs to go
In love's sweet time you'll wake up and find
You've finally made it home
(Don't) Don't (Don't)
Don't rush, Don't rush the river
Just let it flow
All you can do is let it flow
