Joan Baez - Strange Rivers Lyrics
by John Stewart)There are voices in the mirror, faces at the doorThat open on the rivers we've never seen beforeAre there choices for the sparrow, or does he only flyHigh above the rivers that are pulling you and IOh, there are strange rivers, rivers that we cannot seeThere are strange rivers who know our destinyThere are strange rivers who brought your love to meHe could have been a builder, he could have been the oneWho turned his dreams to steel cathedrals in the sunHe could have been a builder, until he bought the gunThere are forces in that river that keep him on the runOh, there are strange rivers, rivers that we cannot seeThere are strange rivers who know our destinyThere are strange rivers who brought your love to meHave you ever turned the corner and wondered why you did?You haven't been that way since you were just a kidNothing really happens and then you have to sayYou wonder what would happen had you gone the other wayOh, there are strange rivers, rivers that we cannot seeThere are strange rivers who know our destinyThere are strange rivers who brought your love to me
